After Kaden Groves’ sprint victory the day before, the route of the Tour of Spain will gain a little height on Thursday, September 5, during the 18th stage of the Vuelta. Two climbs, one of the second category and the other of the first, will punctuate the 175 kilometers of the route that will take the riders from Vitoria Gasteiz, in the Basque Country, to Maeztu.
With a five-second lead over Primoz Roglic (RedBull-Bora-Hansgrohe) In the general classification, Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) is not safe from a poker move by the Slovenian. Unless the latter is saving himself for bigger stages? In which case, a long-distance breakaway could have a favorable outcome.
