Movistar’s sword of Damocles at La Vuelta

Date:

Let’s face the 77th edition of the Vuelta with great participation, just not enough Vingegaard Y Pogacar. There are up to five winners of La Vuelta, after being dropped in the last minute of Nairo Quintana. primoz roglic He has won the last three editions and is the top favourite, although there are doubts about his recovery after falling and withdrawing from the Tour. Along with him, I would put it in the top 4 Almeida, Carapace already Evenepoel. Then, in the fight for the general classification there are many more runners, but the most qualified of the Spaniards for me is More, Rodriguez, Landa and Valverde. The Spanish participation is notable, with 37 cyclists and four teams, Movistar, Burgos-BH, Euskaltel Euskadi and Kern Pharma; and we have a block of Spaniards to win the stages, plus Ayuso, ‘Juanpe’, Verona, ‘Luisle’, Soler, Herrada and De la Cruz.

Movistar will face the Vuelta in a delicate situation, as it is 460 points away from relegation to the second division. Go with the sword of Damocles and have some tension. He has to place his cyclists in the general classification, because there are more points in the general classification than in the stages.

The route is fairly balanced, although it still has a lot of high finishes and a few mid-mountain stages, which are often where a lot of battles happen that no one expects. In these ingredients we see a beautiful race, very controversial, from the beginning to Netherlandswhich means a couple of flat days there, complicated and always with difficulty.
