Trinajst minut do druge ure popoldan se bo na progo podal prvi kolesar in začela se bo ena najpomembnejših etap v zadnjem tednu Vuelte. Vsi bomo z nestrpnostjo pričakovali zadnjo deseterico kolesarjev, še posebej Primoža Rogliča, ki bo štartal kot predzadnji.
Slovenski as je glavni favorit za etapno zmago, edini pravi konkurent je Remi Cavagna. A kolesarsko sfero bolj kot boj za etapno zmago, zanimajo razlike, ki se bodo ustvarile med favoriti za končno zmago. Vsi pričakujejo, da bo Roglič prevzel rdečo majico in si nabral lepo prednost pred ostalimi zasledovalci.
Med prvo deseterico kolesarjev je edini, ki ob Rogliču lahko odpelje dober kronometer Enric Mas. Španski mladenič za Rogličem zaostaja minuto in štirideset sekund, zato mu prave grožnje ne predstavlja, a lahko se prebije na stopničke. Za tretje uvrščenim Hughom Carthyjem ima 1:18 zaostanka.
Ob 14.36 bomo pozorni na štart Remija Cavagne, 32 minut čez tretjo se bo na progo podal Nelson Oliveira, ki tudi lahko poseže visoko. Nato sledi dolgo čakanje do zadnje peterice, katera bo danes v središču pozornosti. Enric Mas bo štartal ob 16.28, ostali pa si bodo sledili v dvominutnem razmiku.
Primož Roglič bo s štartne klančine kot predzadnji zapeljal ob 16.34. Dve minuti za njim se bo na progo podal še Richard Carapaz.
