Women ride time trial in Madrid Challenge • Day of truth for Roglic in Vuelta

Today is also the day when the Tour of Spain is decided on the Alto de la Covatilla: an irregular climb of 11.4 kilometers in length with an average of 7.1 percent, but with peaks to 12 percent halfway.

And before the riders start that final climb, they have already climbed three mountains of the third, one mountain of the second and one mountain of the first category. Primoz Roglic is in great shape with 0.45 ahead of Richard Carapaz and 0.52 over Hugh Carthy. But one bad moment on the final climb can still be fatal.

The official start is at 12.10 pm, arrival at La Covatilla is expected between 5 pm and 5.30 pm.
