Stage 3 preview: Lucena → Rincon de la Victoria, 183 km (Mountain)
February 19 update: Although Stage 3 features six category climbs including three cat 1s, it ends in a descending finish. If any of the three riders within 12s plan on overthrowing race leader Alejandro Valverde on the last day then they will likely need to win this stage to gain the maximum bonus seconds. Correction... there are no bonus seconds. — SteveSee the race summary table (right) for the Stage 3 profile, map and timetable
