The men's race starts at a fast pace and at kilometer 2 the first attacks arrive from the favorites for the general classification. As the race progresses, the leading group becomes more and more selective and last year's winner Georg Egger (GER) and current leader Wout Alleman (BEL) remain among them. On the last climb Alleman manages to break away with a second attack just before the start of the final descent. Alleman crosses the finish line first in Castellón and secures the stage victory. Egger reaches the finish line 40 seconds late and rises to second place in the general classification.
The women's race begins with Terese Andersson in the lead, the surprise of the first day of competition. American Hannah Otto and Swiss Janina Wüst broke away halfway through the race and together increased their lead. However, Rosa van Doorn (NED) then attacked again and managed to break away with her teammate Janina Wüst (SUI) and finally cross the finish line together. Rosa van Doorn takes the stage victory and Janina Wüst takes the overall leader's jersey.
