Second mountain stage in a row on this Vuelta. The day after a first beautiful arrival at the top in Pal (Andorra) who saw Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | lease a bike) sold her red jersey to Torstein Traeen (Bahrain Victorious) et Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) Be eliminated from the general race, the organizers traced a very similar 7th stage on paper this Friday, although perhaps a little more difficult. With 4,500m of elevation gain and four beautiful ascents to climb in 188 km since Andorra-la-Vieilleit will be necessary to be in good shape to hope to impose yourself and/or carry out a good operation in the general classification. After a full -legged mouthpiece with the long but irregular port Port del Canto (24.7 km at 4.4%), will then appear the Creu of Perves (5.7 km at 6.3%) and the Espina coll (7.1 km at 5.5%) before the highlight of the show and the arrival at Cerler, there too very irregular with 12.1 km at 5.8% average.

Will Torstein Traeen resist and stay in red?
What to promise again a great battle, whether for the breakaway which could still have a very good chance of going to the end, with why not a double of the Porteur of the Pois jersey Jay Vinebut also of course for the general. If the best ended up neutralizing this Thursday, with a few exceptions, differences and lessons could be more important after this 7th stage. Jonas Vingegaard et Giulio Ciccone appeared in shape and offensive and could again launch hostilities. The Norwegian Torstein Traeen will have to be very strong to hope to resist and keep your red jersey.
