Overview

  • Jonas Vingegaard finished second, 46 seconds back, and said he was disappointed but that Almeida deserved the victory.
  • UAE Team Emirates extended its dominance at this Vuelta, with reporting that the squad has six wins from the first 13 stages.
  • The stage unfolded during pro‑Palestinian demonstrations in Asturias as regional president Adrián Barbón urged Israel‑Premier Tech’s withdrawal and said he would not attend the two local stages.
  • Almeida arrived in peak form with overall wins at Itzulia, Tour de Romandie and the Tour de Suisse this season, having missed the Tour de France earlier in the year after fracturing a rib.
  • The race now turns to the climb to La Farrapona, which is expected to test the contenders again after the Angliru.
