Tour of Spain 2023 | Stage 6 of the Vuelta a España 2023: route, profile and today’s schedule

At the Pico del Buitre where the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory (Teruel) is located, the second summit finish of this 78th Back to Spain where again the top favorites should be the main protagonists.

The sixth stage will take the peloton from the Castellón town of The Uixo Valley until the Pico del Buitre at the Jalambre Astrophysical Observatory After 183.1 kilometers with almost 11 kilometers of final ascent, a hard port but with several areas with breaks that make it a little more bearable, but do not reduce its hardness.

We will have to wait for the development of the stage to see if, like the event in Andorra Arinsal this Monday wins one of the favouritesas was the case of the Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), or on the contrary comes the getaway of the day as it happened in 2019 in the debut of this stage in the Spanish race.

So Ángel Madrazo was the winner and the protagonist both on the climb, where he knew how to make the most of his options among the trio of escapees, and in a press conference in which he did not stop making smiles with his continuous jokes to all those present.

Among the favorites they fought to get ahead in a few seconds, but overconfidence prevented them from having options to fight for partial victory. Something that for sure it will happen again this second time that the cyclists of the Vuelta will lean out to the Pico del Buitre.
