Roglic triumphed on Wednesday at the Angliru ahead of Vingegaard, who came within 8 seconds of Kuss. Last arrival at the summit this Thursday for the final explanation.
The final mountain stage of this Vuelta arrives this Thursday at Puerto de la Cruz de Linares. Perhaps the last opportunity for Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo Visma) to overturn the Vuelta, he who came back 8 seconds behind his teammate and red jersey Sepp Kuss yesterday, finishing in the same time as the winner Primoz Roglic. As expected, the final explanation took place between the Jumbo Visma who signed a new hat-trick at the top of the Angliru. Sepp Kuss, third in the stage, saved the red jersey on his birthday but seems to be weakening very slightly compared to his two teammates. With no less than five passes on the program today, including the last one of 8.3 kilometers at 8.5% which will be crossed twice, the three Jumbo Visma will have ideal terrain to fight once again. Above the rest since the start of this Tour of Spain, Roglic and Vingegaard do not seem willing to give this Vuelta a gift to Sepp Kuss, current red jersey and who helped them win the Giro and the Tour de France respectively This year.
Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious), very fit and fourth in the stage yesterday, came back very close to Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) in the General Classification. He will also try to be offensive to regain 4th place overall from his compatriot, helped by his teammates Wout Poels and Santiago Buitrago, who were very strong yesterday. Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) will undoubtedly be offensive once again, because the Jumbo Visma could this time let the breakaway win the stage. Romain Bardet (DSM Firmenich), on his feet since the start of this Vuelta and 2nd in stage behind Evenepoel in Larra-Belagua, today perhaps has one last chance to win a stage.
