For safety reasons the event clerk of the course has selected positions 15, 16 and 17 for Abdulaziz Alkuwari, John Powell and Paulo Nobre respectively. This is due, in part, to the trio’s relative lack of experience.
Friday’s route consists of six stages starting with the new all-gravel Gandesa test at 07:45hrs local time. Three stages run entirely on gravel and three on a combination of both surfaces.
