I did not know La Vuelta this stage with the final at the top of Les Praeres, but surely the peloton will never forget it. "The hardest of all," in the words of director Javier Guillén, brushed the 3,000 meters of accumulated altitude and hid a final demential stretch between twisty descents and a short but explosive wall. The climb of just four kilometers had two sections: one where Nairo Quintana seemed to be playing with the rest, keeping the forces that others did not have, and another, 1,000 meters, in which Simon Yates taught the cards and showed himself as the most cool. Mitchelton's recovered the red that gave an empty Jesus Herrada, which rose when the others were already down, more than nine minutes. The bonuses left Quintana at 25 seconds in the third place of the general, advanced by a good Alejandro Valverde who hunted four seconds (to 20). Yates, in his second triumph, deserves to toast with sidrina. [Narration] [Classifications: Stage | General] After many and many days of numerous getaways and with a happy ending, the group said enough to the adventurers on the day of Asturias with an unprecedented ending. Of course there was one, but she was born dead. Six men dared to escape with almost 170 kilometers ahead, a port of third category, another second and two first. They were Garcia Cortina, Brent Bookwalter, Thomas De Gendt, Michael Woods, Nicolas Roche and Michal Kwiatkowski. The presence of the latter, five minutes from the red jersey before leaving the town of Cistierna Leonese, prevented flying away much further of the three minutes. Cofidis and Movistar alternated at work. De Gendt, on the other hand, rubbed his hands in each port kneading the points of the mountain. While, in the peloton, the possessor of the jersey of the climbers Luis Ángel Maté, suffered a cold that endangers its condition of better grimpeur.
