The day after Remco Evenepoel’s show of force, in red, on Thursday, the riders tackle a mid-mountain stage on Friday 9 September. With a start and finish in Talavera de la Reina, the peloton will cover a circuit twice via the Piélago pass (2nd category). On the last kilometers without relief, it will be necessary to watch the runners who know how to approach the medium mountains and who have a good top speed.
With a lead of more than two minutes in the general classification, Remco Evenepoel should not be too worried on this course. The best climber’s polka dot jersey should be more contested after the abandonment of its wearer, Jay Vine, on Thursday, even if Richard Carapaz has a comfortable 20-point lead.
