When those responsible for Lap They publicize the route of 78th edition of the Vuelta The design of the 20th and penultimate stage deserves all kinds of praise, because it is a bold, innovative bet and has a profile that can predict a close battle between the best classified cyclists. What no one expected was that at this point in the film 99% of the Vuelta had already been decided, after the riders themselves and the director of the Jumbo-Visma team himself closed the controversy on which of their three best swords would be the last bet.

Although, as is often said colloquially, all the fish have been sold, the sun retains its incentive. This is the longest stage of this edition, with 208 kilometers, starting from Manzanares El Real and the end at Guadarrama. The route does not have a meter break and it is true that it does not have major mountain passes, but it has up to ten mountain peaks, all of the third category, in a day of constant ups and downs, to go with eyes open and tongue hanging out, because the land is winding and terrifying, suitable for tricks and threats.

The incentives of the stage
A stage that fits the Belgian like a glove Remco Evenepoel. A mini World Cup tour, with a classic flavor, where the young cannibal can try to give a new recital in search of his fourth victory. Jumbo-Visma will control the platoon, there will be escape attempts and almost the only doubt is knowing whether Juan Ayuso will retain fourth place overall. He has 19 seconds left Mikel Landa and 30 with respect to Enric Mas. The fight for fourth place does not seem to matter for the runners of such a large stature – the Spaniard has finished second three times (2018, 2021 and 2022) and the one from Jávea was 3rd last year, while Alavés was never popular. in a Spanish round.

In your hands can be the incentive for today’s stage, before the day of glory on the way to Madrid.
