Wout Poels won the 20th stage of the Vuelta, the longest of this edition: 208 km from Manzanares El Real to Guadarrama. Fleeing from afar, the 35-year-old Dutchman from Bahrain-Victorious (who also won a Liège Bastogne Liège in his career) beat Remco Evenepoel in a very tight sprint, the 23-year-old Belgian from Soudal-Quick Step who came close to the fourth stage success in this edition. Also from the breakaway, noteworthy is the seventh place at 26″ by Antonio Tiberi and the 14th place at 1’25” by Mattia Cattaneo.

SEPP, HERE WE ARE

In the general classification, there are no significant changes and therefore the American Sepp Kuss is one stage away from the final triumph, the first by an American in the Vuelta since Chris Horner in 2013. In the general classification, Jonas Vingegaard is second at 17″ and third Primoz Roglic at 1’08”: the podium will therefore be entirely signed by Jumbo-Visma. The Spanish race will end tomorrow evening with a probable sprint in Madrid.
