Narration Stage 10
Classifications.This is the general
The winding arrival in Suances did not hide the fear of the double crossing through the Asturian colossi of the weekend.
The slopes of Farrapona and El Angliru frighten some survivors of the Vuelta who are beginning to be exhausted by so many convulsions.
The beautiful Cantabrian town hosted the third victory for
Primoz Roglic
, after an exciting arrival in which he imposed his top speed on a slope.
New bite to the advantage of
Richard Carapaz.
, which with the bonus allows him to regain the leadership, yes, with the same time as the Ecuadorian.
[Narration] [General classification]
The Slovenian, the undisputed animator of the Vuelta, led a group that throughout the day fought to neutralize a leak that amounted to more than 11 minutes and made up of
Jonathan Lastra
(Caja Rural-Seguros RGA),
Brent Van Moer
(Lotto Soudal ),
Pim Lingthart
(Total Direct Energie) and
Alexander Molenaar
(Burgos BH).
Many nervous in front of imposing cliffs.
A complicated area, there
Alejandro Valverde
lost the 2008 Vuelta due to a mistake with a raincoat in the port of El Caracol.
The past helps not to make mistakes, so
Chris Froome
was very aware of Richard Carapaz.
Roglic went to recognize Suances' goal before the start.
The importance of planned work.
The Mountain Exam
A day of transition, with beautiful passes through Comillas and Santillana del Mar, on the eve of a tremendous journey through Asturias, First with the ascent to Farrapona, a new port in the Vuelta that will torment the weak.
There, with its 16.5 kilometers in length and its 6.2% average slope, only the most capable can prevail.
Roglic, Carapaz,
Enric Mas
and
Daniel Martin
will once again challenge each other on some high-level ramps.
There they won
Alberto Contador
(2014) and
Rein Taramae
(2011), and
Chris Froome
presented his credentials to an opponent to a great return with his duels with the surprising
Juanjo Cobo
.
The previous steps through Colladona, Cobertoria and San Lorenzo (all of the first category) will select the group of the best.
A tremendous Saturday, aperitif of the great dish of the Vuelta: the colossal Angliru, shelter of beautiful feats of the Spanish round, with
Chava Jiménez
,
Gilberto Simoni
,
Roberto Heras
or Alberto Contador as heroes.
The hardest port in the history of the Vuelta, already installed in the most emblematic album of the world tops of cycling.
Its ramps, Les Cabanes (with a maximum slope of 22%), Los Picones (20%) Cobayos (21.5%) or La Cueña Les Cabres (23.5%), are already written in the most epic chapters of this sport always related to sacrifice, solidarity and improvement.
The ascent to the imposing port is preceded by the peaks El Padrún, San Emiliano, Mozqueta and El Cordal.
A bestiality.
