Vuelta a España 2023 stage 18 highlights. A 179km mountain stage from Pola de Allande to La Cruz de Linaresi. Three category 1 climbs for the peloton today, the Puerto de San Lorenzo - 9.9km at 8.6%, and a double ascent of the Puerto de La Cruz de Linares - 8.3km at 8.6%. Could this mark an ideal stage for the breakaway against a tired peloton, or will bonus seconds available on the first ascent of La Cruz de Linares force a battle for the maillot rojo? 📺 Live coverage, race replays & extended highlights on GCN+ 👉 https://gcn.eu/8KQ (some territory restrictions apply) #lavuelta23 Useful Links: Everything Cycling.
