15.17 Martinez tries to take the wake of his flagship. After a couple of kilometers he finds two companions waiting for him
15.13 Martinez gets back on track with one minute behind the group. What bad luck for him, who had to say goodbye to the fight for good positions in the Tour de France for another crash at the start of the race…
15.11 ATTENTION! Fall for Daniel Martinez! (EF Pro Cycling) The Colombian remains on the roadside to be medicated!
15.10 There is a man from the Jumbo-Visma who has been ahead for a few kilometers, who has revived the group’s action. The German Jasha Sütterlin (Team Sunweb), the French Rémi Cavagna (Deceuninck-Quick Step) and Quentin Jauregui (AG2R-La Mondiale), the Belgian Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal) and the Dutch Jetse Bol (Burgos BH) have 1 ‘ 43 of advantage.

15.05 There continues to be a good collaboration between the leading five.

14.41 After 60 kilometers of racing. The Puerta de Udana is located just over 35 km. Meanwhile, it is drizzling on the runners.
14.36 Movistar also pulls the group together with Jumbo-Visma, as also confirmed by this tweet from the Vuelta. Group a 2’10:

14.31 The platoon does not want to give space to the five attackers and is slowly mending, under the pressure of the Jumbo-Visma. Now the advantage is 2’35

14.21 The most feared man of the escape is probably Tim Wellens. The Belgian has in his palmares two respectable victories in the Giro d’Italia, both in uphill stages: the first in Roccaraso in 2016, the second in Caltagirone two years later. The Lotto Soudal rider could be dangerous in this first stage.
14.17 The only one of the five fugitives to have tasted the victory is Rémi Cavagna: last year the Deceuninck-Quick Step rider imposed himself in the nineteenth stage, arriving alone at the finish line in Toledo anticipating the return of the group after 25 kilometers of escape lonely.
14.12 Jumbo-Visma continues to keep the fugitives in a bain-marie, now with an advantage of 3’35 “.

13.09 The inaugural stage of the Vuelta 2020 will start in a few moments! The runners are heading towards km 0.
13.06 Speaking of the big names at the start of the great Iberian stage race, the Jumbo-Visma pair formed by Primoz Roglic and Tom Dumoulin stands out above all, looking for a team redemption after the mockery of the Tour de France vanished in the penultimate stage. We also remember that Roglic is the outgoing winner of the Vuelta 2019. Against them we have, without a doubt, the ‘usual’ Ineos Grenadiers led by Richard Carapaz, in great shape at the Grande Boucle, with Chris Froome, winner of the Vuelta del 2011 and 2017, and at his last appointment with the clothes of the British formation. Next year he will play for the Israel Start-Up Nation.
