The day was marked by an energetic start from Tarragona, which led to intense competition until the finish at Montjuïc. During the route, the peloton had to face orographic challenges such as the Begues climb, where the pace set by the UAE team reduced the gaps with the initial breakaway riders.
In the final stretch, the favorites' strategy took center stage. Despite the stage victory being decided in the final meters in Barcelona, the Dane Jonas Vingegaard managed to retain the yellow jersey. The general classification remains tight, with the main contenders separated by only a few seconds after this second day in Catalan territory.
