The world championship Luis Alberto Hernando has leaded the stage from the beginning to the end, crossing the finish line in 2 hours 17 minutes. This has been a fast stage as he has achieved the record by 7 minutes improving his own register from 2013.

Ester's teammate in team The Elements, the Catalan runner Jordi Gamito, has finished forth in this stage.

The first day has started in between millet fields and after crossing the town of Jiri through the main street they did a short stretch of pist and started the hard part of the day. A wooded area with a vertical gain of 500 meters and after a descend of 600 meters. This is going to be the usual tonic of this crazy track where everything goes up and then down during the 6 stages with important vertical gains and losses in short distances. Today the hard part of the day has been 1000m of vertical gain after the first check point in a day marked by the varied terrain, technical and irregular with water and
