What we said beforehand
Stage 17 features rolling terrain before the decisive category one Alto de el Morredero, the penultimate summit finish of the race. The Paso de las Traviesas comes first but is unlikely to be decisive with more than 50km to go. El Morredero’s mix of steep ramps, plateaus, and even a short descent makes it an unpredictable and rhythm-breaking climb, adding to its difficulty.
