When there are no more, there are still some. The day after a day that has already seen the favorites do battle, with the victory of Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and the red jersey for his teammate Sepp Kuss, the leaders of this Vuelta 2023 should once again explain themselves, Sunday September 3, during the 9th stage between Cartagena and the Collado de la Cruz de Caravaca (184.5 kilometers).

With two climbs on the menu, including the one at the top of which the finish will be judged, this ninth opus of the Tour of Spain 2023 is promised to a climber. So, the final break in the leg, with the terribly irregular ascent of the Collado de la Cruz de Caravaca and its percentages of up to 20%, will it allow Remco Evenepoel, back to 2’31 “from the leader, or another candidate for the red jersey to rock the Jumbo-Visma armada of Primoz Roglic, Jonas Vingegaard and Sepp Kuss?
