5. Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) +1’44” From behind, a display of bravery by Enric Mas who, after seeing how López launched himself, did not hesitate to do the same to the point of surpassing him. In the fight for the general, Evenepoel lost a bit of time, as Roglic pressed in the last meters. The Dutch cyclist crosses the Sierra Nevada finish line with his hands on his head! 🏁 4 KM to finish line. The Dutchman jumped in, came and left… the sole leader of the DSM! Ahead there are still 7 kilometers loaded with altitude. The distance between the leadership is reduced after seeing how Arensman has increased the pace. 15 ” separate both cyclists. He saw that Miguel Ángel López came out and quickly the Movistar did not hesitate. Action, reaction and attack. He gets down from the group in the red jersey and launches himself at the pursuers. After a slight descent, the cyclists once again face another tough climb. Hindley, Arensman, Meintjes, Uran, Mäder, De La Cruz, Vine and Lawson Craddock close the gap, but still have 27” between the head and the chasing pack. The triple winner of the Vuelta sets the pace with Evenepoel, Mas, O’Connor and López behind. He also wants to get to this Ayuso group because he is going at a very good pace. The UAE cyclist continues alone and is already almost 40” ahead of the pursuers… quite an exercise in survival! One of the most anticipated moments of the entire edition: the final climb to Alto Hoya de la Mora. A real challenge of 22.3 kilometers with an average gradient of 6.9%. The UAE cyclist picks up the pace and wants to break away from the group to command alone… we’ll see if he holds up! Hindley, Arensman, Meintjes, Carapaz, Soler, Reichenbach, Uran, Mäder, Vervaeke, De La Cruz join the lead group with a view to the start of the last climb. 🏁 30 KM to the finish line. The Australian went all out and overtook Craddock high up in the harbour. The cyclist from Alpecin takes the 3 points after leading this second port of the day. Craddock and Carapaz, second and third. From the escape the Australian cyclist decides to go in search of Craddock and gets closer than 15”. The Ag2r-Citroën cyclist is at the front of the peloton who are 4’10” from the head. The Jumbo-Visma behind him. With a difference of 1’10” compared to his pursuers… will the American hold out on the climb to the next pass? 1. Lawson Craddock (Team BikeExchange-Jayco), 20pts
2. Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), 17pts
3. Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious), 15pts
4. Antonio Tiberi (Trek-Segafredo), 13pts
5. Rohan Dennis (Jumbo-Visma), 10pts The American cyclist is determined to get away from his pursuers by 1’01”. With less than 80 km to go, the American cyclist from the BikeExchange-Jayco team tries. Today’s finish is expected to be decisive, thinking about the general classification and with the first two in the lead, everything indicates that we will have a beautiful duel in Sierra Nevada. Well-defined race situation at the moment and even more so after the peloton separated more than 5′. “I think Sierra Nevada will be better for me because it’s a longer climb. I like long efforts. Only the first part of the pass has hard ramps so I have to survive that and then it’s a nice climb, not too steep and very long”. The leader of the Vuelta did not feel “concerned” after suffering on the ascent and losing 48 seconds to his closest rival, the Slovenian Primoz Roglic, a difference that according to the Belgian “is nothing serious”. With 4’14” compared to the head, the Quick-Step continues at the head of this group. The Australian cyclist takes the 3 points after passing this first port of the day in the lead. Meurisse and de la Cruz, second and third. There is little left to crown! Up to 29 cyclists make up the leading group with the peloton behind at 2’48”. Kelderman is farthest behind (lagging behind due to a fall) at almost 4 minutes. Marc Soler decided to attack to join this group that is 22” behind Carthy, Dennis and Nibali who continue at a great pace. 🗣 | The opinion of Rafa Carrasco, former sports director of the Kelme Mäder team, hangs down from the front and remains 12″ behind the three in front. Meanwhile, the peloton is 26″. Nibali, Hugh Carthy, Fredrik Hagen, Repa, Luis Ángel Maté and Rohan Dennis open a gap and take 12″ off the peloton. The Bora-hansgrohe rider and 8th in the general classification of La Vuelta 22 crashes while riding in the peloton. Enric Mas (3rd overall) was able to start out with his closest rivals in the key kilometers of the final ascent to Sierra de La Pandera, but later he couldn’t keep up with Primoz Roglic and Miguel Ángel López. We have output neutralized! Soon a new stage will start with the toughest finish of the entire Vuelta. For all! “I hope to continue like this, I feel better and better.” In order not to miss any details of the 77th edition of the Vuelta España, consult the Mundo Deportivo guide. 1 | Remco Evenepoel 48h 11′ 10″ 2 | Primoz Roglic + 2′ 41″ 3 | Enric Mas + 3′ 03″ 4 | Carlos Rodríguez + 4′ 06″ 5 | Juan Ayuso + 4′ 53″ During this stage, the runners will have to overcome three climbs, third, first and special category.
