The 79th edition of La Vuelta with individual achievements McNulty, Groves and Van Aertwho was confirmed as the leader in the absence of the stage this Tuesday, ending on a high. Let’s look at the favorites, which a priori is a Vuelta where the great dominators want Pogacar, Vingegaard or Evenepoel.
Therefore, I think it’s a more open Vuelta, I think we’ll see a battle between some riders that I think will be evenly matched. For me the favorites, a small order is Primoz Roglic, Adam Yates, Joao AlmeidaBe careful, UAE has a great team, Carlos Rodríguez and Mikel Landaof the two Spaniards I see able to fight for the general classification, even for the podium.
There are many high finishes, 9 in total, but I will highlight four mountain stages. At the end of the first week, before the first break, on Sunday, is the Granada stage, which adds an elevation gain of more than 4,500 meters. Then in the second week there are two stages in a row, the last one in Pajares, in Cuito Negroand then the stage of Lakes of Covadona. These two stages will be very important because they are two very difficult stages in a row, and because they mean another stage, in the third and last week, before the Madrid final test of time, the hardest of all at the end White Piconwhere the difference in elevation exceeds 5,000 meters. Perhaps the Vuelta could be decided that day and Madrid’s 25-kilometer time trial could be nothing to say.
That being said, let’s do it week by week. It will have three high finishes, including the first decisive stage for me pomegranate. Let’s see what happens this week, see what the favorites I mentioned are doing and if no one else joins. McNulty He is a great time trial runner, who has also climbed and has a team, the UAE, which for me is the most powerful team, also with the young Mexican. Isaac del Toro. For me this is the strongest team in the race and that will help its leaders and McNulty to be involved, although we need to see him in a grand tour competing in a general classification.
