PREVIEW | Volta a Comunitat Valenciana 2023 stage 3 - GC fight and sprint both possible on explosive day in the Valencia hills

The Volta a Comunitat Valenciana is this year providing plenty opportunities for the climbers and puncheurs to thrive and stage 3 will be no exception. A day where the GC can be turnt on it's head, it can also see a breakaway, late attack or even small group sprint decide the stage winner as Giulio Ciccone leads the race.

Stage three takes place from Bétera to Sagunto and it somewhat avoids the rompe-piernas terrain. However the riders will have no easy task as they face the Puerto del Garbí which summits with 29 kilometer to go, featuring 8.6 kilometers at 5.5% but gradients that go up over 11% for 2.3 kilometers. From there on it's a mostly descending route into the finish, but the GC may be changed once the day is over.

*** Aranburu, Wright
** Girmay, Bilbao, Mohoric
* R.Costa, McNulty, Kämna, Cortina

Pick: Lennard Kämna
