(Krabelin is just the side of Arrate they climbed in the ITT a few years ago, they then descend the side they will climb later, before turning right to Ixua. It's very similar to the stage a couple of years ago when they climbed the hormigón road, then descended but only gave the points at Ixua, only this time rather than climbing parallel to the road later taken for the finish, they're legimitately climbing through the finish backwards).
