Pred kolesarji na Dirki po Španiji je še druga in s tem zadnja vožnja na čas. Za razliko od prve etape se bodo tokrat pomerili posamično.
Kolesarje čaka skoraj 31 kilometrov ravnine na zahodu Španije. Boj s časom bodo začeli v Elcheju končali pa Alicanteju.
Trasa je povsem ravna, v prvem delu celo nekoliko visi, a to večjih razlik ne bi smelo ustvariti. Veliko bolj lahko na rezultat vpliva prisotnost vetra, ki ga lahko pričakujemo predvsem v drugem delu, ko kolesarji zavijejo levo in pot do cilja nadaljujejo ob morju.
Tik pred ciljem tekmovalce sicer čaka krajši klanček, a ta je tako položen, da večjih razlik ne bo ustvaril. Morda lahko kakšen izmed kolesarjev pridobi sekundo ali dve, več pa ne.
Roglič bo reševal dirko
Slovenske navdušence zanima predvsem, kako se bo odrezal Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma). Na kronometer se podaja z dvema minutama zaostanka, kar v velikih primerih ne bi bil velik problem, a zaostanek lovi za Remcom Evenepoelom (QuickStep-Alpha Vinyl), ki prav tako velja za izvrstnega kronometrista.
Primarni cilj Slovenca bo danes vsaj nekoliko stopiti zaostanek za rdečo majico ter se oddaljiti od vstalih tekmecev za najvišja mesta. Glede na kronometrske sposobnosti bi lahko Roglič že danes tudi prehitel Enrica Masa (Movistar) in v skupnem seštevku postal prvi zasledovalec Evenepoela.
Roglič bo s štarta zapeljal kot 159. kolesar dneva, čeprav ima ob svojem imenu zapisano številko 162. Po objavi štartnih časov so namreč nastop odpovedali trije kolesarji. A štartni čas našega asa se ni spremenil, v boj s štoparico se podaja ob 16:51.
Na dirki bomo pesti stiskali še za enega kolesarja. Jan Polanc (UAE Emirates) vozi zelo dobro Dirko po Španiji in je po devetih etapah na visokem 25. mestu. Danes bi se lahko še povzpel, saj je v skupnem seštevku pred njim nekaj kolesarjev, ki so slabši kronometristi.
Polde se bo na štartni klančini pojavil kot 137. (140.) kolesar dneva. Njegov štartni čas je 16:11.
