This is the stage on the 2024 Vuelta Femenina that looks most ideal for sprinters. It’s a steady downhill with not much climbing compared to tough days like yesterday. Once through the first half of the stage, the sprinters who have got through ok will be licking their lips at a fast finish.
What could throw a spanner in the works is the wind. The first half of the stage has plenty of areas that look absolutely perfect for echelons to form and the wind is looking like it will encourage that too. The second half of the stage sees the wind direction change though so that it is more front-on and less likely for the race to split up. There’s the potential for a GC rider to be a big loser today.
