In the stage, which will take the away from Sargentes and will be articulated for a total of 150km, as mentioned, the most fit climbers of the group will make the big voice, probably with an attack that could start from the slopes of the final tear and that could cut the legs of the captains who had worked too hard on the other 4 GPM previously tackled.
The Spaniards are certainly among the favorites for the stage win Alejandro Valverde e Mikel Landa and the Belgian Remco Evenepoel (appeared on the ball in the first fraction), with an eye that must be aimed at South Americans Nairo Quintana (Colombia) and Richard Carapaz (Ecuador) and on the British Simon Yates.
For the Bel Paese a lot of curiosity instead for the first important exam of this season for the Sardinian Fabio Aru, expected immediately to show himself in condition to earn the trust of his UAE Emirates as soon as possible in view of a Tour, his declared goal, in which he will have to share the ranks of captain with the Slovenian baby talent Tadej Pogacar.
Today’s stage will start at 12:45, with OA Sport that will offer you the LIVE LIVE of the event from the first minute, not to miss a moment of the most intriguing part of this long-awaited edition number 42 of the Vuelta a Burgos.
