Tour of Spain: The 20th stage … Will Remco Evenepoel hold out? – Cycling News

It’s now or never for the cadors of the Tour of Spain and the climbers who have not yet raised their arms on this 77th edition! 181 kilometers long, the 20th stage of La Vuelta will see the riders face five listed climbs, including three of 1st category. The Puerto de Cotos (10.3 km at 6.9%) will be the last pass of the Tour of Spain 2022, its summit being located just under 7 terminals from the finish in Puerto de Navacerrada. But it is well before this last ascent that hostilities should begin, many riders having something to gain during this last important meeting.Video – Remco Evenepoel expects to be attacked on Saturday Red jersey, podium… a lot of challenges during this final mountain stage! With more than 2 minutes ahead of Enric Mas (Movistar Team), from whom we expect a lot on Saturday and who should try one last time to win the jackpot, Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team) can calmly approach this 20th stage. , especially since he seems to have regained great legs after his little slack last weekend. The Belgian’s teammates will in any case be of great importance during this day, the objective of Ilan Van Wilder, Louis Vervaeke and Fausto Masnada being to stay as long as possible alongside the red jersey. The other big challenge of this day concerns the third step of the final podium, Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates, + 5’14”), Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana Qazaqstan Team, + 5’56”), Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers , + 6’49”) and Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates, 7’14”) standing in 2 minutes. Finally, some mountaineers left behind in the general classification will do everything to ensure that the breakaway goes to the end, and among these, there is necessarily Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), who is gaining momentum on this Vuelta and seems to be the most even to save the honor of a French cycling which has not finished a Tour of Spain without a stage victory since… 2012!
