A 19th stage provides an opportunity for the top contenders in the General Classification to have a bit of rest, provided there is no presence of wind. Wind can be a determining factor for the success of a potential breakaway since the route is almost entirely flat.
The stage has less than 1,000 meters of accumulated elevation, which is rare for the Vuelta a España, known for its significant climbs. This total elevation will be spread over 177 kilometers, with no mountain bonuses, and a sprint finish point at kilometer 157.
