Leader Evenepoel crowned La Vuelta at Les Praeres, with Ayuso the best of mortals

Date:

It’s only four kilometers, but what four kilometers on the terrifying final climbs of stage nine on the Land Praeres in Principality of Asturias. 15 minutes of climbing with an average gradient of 13% and with a maximum ramp of 24%, where the road becomes a real wall that all the best climbers in the world cannot climb. A final action of the sun, before the last 167 kilometers, where the sun boils until it reaches the exact boiling point on the hard ramps where Simon Yate winning and tied editions of The Return of 2018.

After leaving the first four giants of the sun, including Fito viewpoint (1st category)and after breaking the race on the first hilly difficulty of the day, the Alto del Torno (2nd category), the peloton arrived broken and stretched until the final climb of the day. In the dreaded last 3.8 kilometers. In the expected last almost 4,000 meters, on a rough asphalt, full of excited fans, in hours of concrete and gravel. A plot where success and exhibitions bear epic overtones.

The race focuses on two. Ahead, to find out which of the escapees will be the strongest, which keeps his strength after a painful day. Sometimes it seems that the glory of the day will go to the Italian Sgrind Battistella (Astana), one of the most persistent runners in recent breakaways, but the South African has come to his height Meintjeswho knows how to read the race better and save his energy better, to overcome him and go straight for victory, to crown the great Les Praeres with a one-minute margin in Italian.

Evenepoel, unmatched at the moment

The other focus of the day, the closest gaze, is focused on the peloton, the leader’s group, Quick step, performed the control. His pack of wolves had increased their speed earlier Les Praereswith a Julian Alaphilippe who once again did the ‘dirty’ work for Evenepoel. In the former, the young cannibal acknowledged that he wanted to win the stage, that he knew the importance of choosing the right moment for the attack. And so when he was at the entrance to the port, he attacked, without waiting for anyone to do the work for him, ahead of his rivals and showed who was in charge, checking his rivals from afar. ANDnric Mas and Primoz Roglic suffered, but perhaps not as much as might have been expected after the cruel attack of Remcowith some beautiful, one more day, Carlos Rodriguez and Juan Ayusothat of 21 and 19 years old shows their category.

Zarpazo, who knows if Evenepoel’s definitive in the lap, which was already 1’12” Enrique Morewith Primoz Roglic at 1’53” and an incredible Carlos Rodríguez which maintained fourth place overall ahead of John Ayuso. Three Spaniards in the top five, to rub their eyes.

This Monday, a day of well-deserved rest, waiting for the important time trial on Tuesday at Alicantewherein Evenepoel and Roglic start with an advantage, but where John Ayuso He has already shown himself to perform well. The Vuelta is exciting.
