This is from Marca (Spanish) however it has the profile for this year's stages for Catalunya.
http://www.marca.com/ciclismo/2018/03/12/5aa68b80468aebd2658b463d.html
From the profile, 3 decent finishes, one flat finish after a climb, one mountain top finish, one sprint stage, and one circuit stage (looks similar to last year's final circuit finish). No TTT or ITT and with the way these stages are laid out along with the field it appears that Valverde should be the prohibitive favorite. His biggest challangers who will be in Catalunya appear to be Contador (who will be in the broadcast boot, maybe Alberto will interview Alejandro), and Quintana (who's recently said he wants to race more conservatively and not try to win all these races in the spring because it's burning him out or something to that effect). Soler has stated he's headed to Catalunya to work for his team leader.
