DIRECT. Vuelta 2021: Romain Bardet aims for the best climber’s jersey, the breakaway maintains its lead … S – franceinfo

After a flat stage on Friday, the riders are back in the Spanish heights on Saturday August 28 with a 165.7 km stage between Don Benito and La Villuerca. Three passes, including two of the first category, are on the program: the Puerto Berzocana (7.7 km at 5.2%), the Puerto Collado de Ballesteros (2.8 km at 14%) and the Pico Villuercas (14.5 km at 6.2%).

The arrival being at the top of Pico Villuercas, we risk having the right to a battle between the favorites: Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), in particular, will try to recover his red jersey unless Enric Mas (Movistar) does not. manages to thwart the plans of the Slovenian.
