THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE VUELTA
16.51 In 2017 it was Matteo Trentin who won in Tomares in the Green Jersey on an identical finish to today’s one. Unlike five years ago, however, today there is a short but steep ramp in the previous kilometers.
16.48 With Pedersen, Bryan Coquard also aimed strongly for today’s finish after finishing second in Montilla. It is no coincidence that his fellow Cofidis knits are taking on much of the work.
16.45 Among the favorite riders for today’s victory is the Danish Mads Pedersen, now almost certain to bring the Green Jersey to Madrid. Here is the points classification before today’s stage:
