Just as planned. The closing of the 81st edition of La VueltIt will be raced today as it was drawn on the route sheet, without deducting a single kilometer and counting the times of all the runners.

Yesterday a rumor began to circulate that there were a good number of runners who were not sure that the day would be run completely normally, considering that there were sections in which the final circuit was too technical. A request that fortunately for the show was not met.

In this way, today the last stage of La Vuelta will begin to warm up with the signature control from 3:00 p.m. to 4:10 p.m., with the neutralized start scheduled for 4:20 p.m. along 1.1 kilometers before giving the starting signal for a day of glory for Enric Mas which would have to conclude at 7:06 p.m.

Granada will be the scene of a final stage of La Vuelta that will have the climb to the Alhambra as an incentive on a circuit through the streets of the Nasrid city. The Granada monument will crown the final winner of the race in a stage where the winner of the day should be an explosive cyclist, on a day in which the heat and the strength of the wind should not be a problem.
