Extraordinary CHAOS! | Ned Boulting and David Millar Review Stage 20 of the Vuelta a España

Absolute chaos ensued during Stage 20 of the Vuelta a España, the penultimate stage of this Grand Tour, but is it already over?

Today’s route is renowned for being brutal. Taking us 186.6 kilometres from La Calahorra to Collado del Alguacil across just shy of 4900 metres of climbing, this was no easy race. The gradients are extreme.

The race starts of gently, with the first climb at Puerto de Blancares only averaging a 3.7% incline, however once the riders pass on to the Alto de El Purdue, that’s when the ride gets extreme. With gradients of 9-11%, including a section at 17%, today’s stage was thrilling.

Are the results already decided as we finish the Queen stage of the Vuelta? Ned Boulting and David Millar break down Stage 20 of the Vuelta a España.
