It will be a complicated summit finish but with the hard gradients more towards the end, I believe the attacks will come later, but the riders will come home in smaller groups. #72 Bruno Armirail – Tomorrow is a good day for the breakaway but it will be Thibaut who we’ll look out for. Wilco Kelderman is looking sharp and Sergio Higuita is on the rise, they will have numbers to have a strong presence in the race. Try to keep the GC as it is and try to attack later in the race? #202 Urko Berrade – The ambitions won’t be high but let’s try and get in the breakaway. Quick-Step will surely want to take it easy throughout the day, but the GC battle seems open and I believe there will be someone wanting to pick up the race. The likes of Jay Vine and Mark Padun have also impressed, but I reckon they’d have their best shot within a breakaway. In the final kilometers it doesn’t get any easier however, with a very complicated finale which will be important for the GC. Enric Mas – It’s hard for me to picture Mas taking the win, but he’s an incredibly consistent climber and this one should suit him too. 56 (5.9Km, 5.5%) and 40 (3.8Km, 7.9%) there will be the summit of several ascents which will futher cause some damage in the peloton, however likely to not see any serious moves. The peloton will head into the Asturias with a very complicated day. Five riders had the chance to fight for the win, but it was Jesús Herrada who took gold as he timed his sprint to perfection, beating Samuele Battistella and Fred Wright in the final sprint.

New climb the Colláu Fancuaya brings explosive Asturian stage to punishing conclusion with 19 percent grades and stepped profile.

“It is a new climb almost even for those of us from Asturias, because in this area the Marabio is more frequented. Later, the road narrows and ramps arrive, alternating with small landings. The Fancuaya is the next wild beast to be unleashed from Spain’s northern summits. It has the perfect hardness for there to be a show,” Movistar rider Alicia González “Everybody was doing well, we were controlled and relaxed.” But a closer look reveals ramps of 19, 17, and again 17 percent in a severely stepped upper section.
