This is the last opportunity to overthrow Sepp Kuss. Four days before the arrival in Madrid, the riders have one last opportunity to shake up the general classification of the Vuelta, during the 18th stage between Pola de Allande and La Cruz de Linares. This 179 kilometer stage will have five listed climbs, with three first category passes including the final climb (8.3 km at 8.6% average). Will it be enough to dislodge the red jersey from the shoulders of Sepp Kuss, which he has worn since the eighth stage?

After the demonstration at the Tourmalet then that on Wednesday in the Angliru, the two flagship climbs of this Tour of Spain, the only ones able to shake up him are within his team: Jonas Vingegaard, who is only eight seconds behind , and Primoz Roglic, who is 1’08” behind, seem to finish this Tour of Spain better than the American. What strategy will they adopt on Thursday? Take their usual teammate to a first Grand Tour or try their luck on a regular basis? Follow the race live.
