La Vuelta Stage 14 and 15 Preview
The La Vuelta a Espana is heading up the mountains for the second weekend in a row. Stages 14 and 15 are a couple more rough days where riders will earn that final Monday rest day. Primoz Roglic can gain back time on Remco Evenepoel.
The finale ascent on Saturday could change the general classification again. The temperature was quite toasty during Stage 13. Remco Evenpoel crashed on Stage 12. Primoz Roglic was not as fast in the time trial and looked a bit slugging on Thursday.
The stage 14 of the Tour de France is on Saturday. Mads Petersen won the stage on Friday. Evenepoel and Mas are the most consistent climbers. Richard Carapaz is getting back his legs after a rough summer. Enric Mas is a rare longshot pick from us. Peacock will stream the stages live in the States at 9 a.m. ET.
La Vuelta has a Stage 14 haymaker and a knockout punch on Sunday. The Alto Hoya de la Mora is a 95-mile climb with three climbs. It finishes at over 8,000 feet in elevation.
The books still like Remco Evenepoel and Richard Carapaz for Stage 14. Remo finished in the top five during both weekend stages last week. There is a chance he may do that again and might eye the Saturday stage as a decisive shot to take. A rider like Thibault Pinot or Marc Padun could win the Sunday stage.
