The second high end of the Vuelta a España 2023 arrives, where again the top favorites should be the main protagonists. Ahead, almost 11 kilometers of final ascent. The peloton will travel 183.5 kilometers between La Vall d'Uixó and Pico del Buitre, where the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory (OAJ) is located.
We will have to wait for the development of the stage to see if, as happened in the Andorran Arinsal on Monday, one of the favorites wins, as was the case of the Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), or on the contrary the getaway of the day as it happened in 2019 in the debut of this stage in the Spanish round.
In the last stage, Kaden Groves beat Australian Filippo Ganna for the second day in a row. In another quiet day, Belgian Remco Evenepoel retained the overall leader's red jersey after finishing safely in the peloton having picked up useful time bonuses in the final intermediate sprint.
"Disputing the bonus was something that was not in the planned plan, I did it because it was there and it did not involve a huge expense. I also saw that the UAE was in front near the sprint to get the bonus for Ayuso. It has been positive to add 6 seconds , everything is going well", said the leader upon reaching the finish line.
In the sixth stage, the peloton of the Vuelta a España 2023 will travel 183.5 kilometers between La Vall d'Uixó and Pico del Buitre, where the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory (OAJ) is located. The event will begin at 12:20 p.m., and can be seen on television on RTVE and Eurosport and can also be followed live on the La Vanguardia website.
