By @EchelonsHub The breakaway took the glory as expected on stage 17, as the hilly finale provided for a lot of spectacle into the Monasterio de Tentudia. Rigoberto Uran took the win after controlling his rivals in the final ascent, and outsprinting Quentin Pacher and Jesus Herrada in a gruelling uphill sprint which followed an all-out…

By @EchelonsHub Stage 16 was a calm day in the peloton, with a very explosive finale into Tomares. What looked to be terrain for a sprint saw Primoz Roglic on the attack in the final hilltop, followed by four of the race’s sprinters on his wheel who managed to control the move. Things took a turn…

By @EchelonsHub The 15th stage completed the second week of racing, and the win fell to Thymen Arensman who got in the day’s breakaway and went solo in the final climb to take the biggest win of his career, and significantly climb up the GC. Enric Mas and Miguel Angel Lopez finished second and third, benefiting…

By @EchelonsHub Although stage 15 may be the queen stage, the 14th day of racing was dramatic and meaningful at the Vuelta, as the Sierra de la Pandera summit finish saw Remco Evenepoel struggle and loose the time he’s gained on Primoz Roglic after struggling in the ascent. Richard Carapaz joined the day’s breakaway and soared…

By @EchelonsHub A bunch sprint took place on the 13th stage, a calm day for the peloton who didn’t have a strong breakaway to chase down on the road into Montilla. The slightly uphill finish favoured some however, and Mads Pedersen took advantage of the situation to take a dominant and impressive win. He beat Bryan…

By @EchelonsHub Perhaps a day where more differences were expected, but another mountain day out of the day for Remco Evenepoel who withstood the attacks of Enric Mas to keep the red jersey, as he led the GC group into the finish at Peñas Blancas. The fight for the stage win was in front however, with…

By @EchelonsHub Stage 11 was one of the easiest in the Vuelta, and with the nagging headwind throughout the day, it also became one of the easiest to control. A calm day in the peloton with slow speeds, that led to a bunch sprint. The lack of leadouts caused it to be a chaotic finish, however…

By @EchelonsHub The race’s time-trial has seen the gaps in the overall classification extend, as the GC battle turned into a stage battle aswell, with Remco Evenepoel giving little room for anyone else. He’s taken the stage win in Alicante, beating Primoz Roglic and Remi Cavagna to the line.
