The twelfth stage of Vuelta had a profile that allowed a number of scenarios, but with a great probability it was simply a classic day for a big leak. The final hill Collada de Brenes (7 km; 7.9 %) was difficult enough to compete on the favorites, but it was simply too far from the goal, and so the only way that the differences in GC could arise today was the attack with the help of satellite domestics to wait for him from leak.

Given the high probability of the success of the break in the escape, many competitors showed interest. There would be no point in writing all attempts. A serious attack eventually managed to Alisas port (8.6 km; 5.8 %), the first hill of the day.

A massive 35-member group was distracted from the package, where many teams were represented. The pair of particular attention was attracted Juan Ayuso – Marc Solerwhich suggested that UAE Emirates wants to win today and is not satisfied with the previous prey of four stages. However, it was not all and the package continued to attack and rebound.

Eventually, the situation evolved in a group of 40 competitors, a small peloton, who wandered almost two minutes before the main field 80 kilometers ahead of the finish. Between two pelotons, there were still thirteen delays, but they could not tighten a long mile.

Finally, they succeeded about an hour and a half before leaving, but the 53-member retinue was profiled in front. They tried to escape several pacers than Stefan if (Groupama-FDJ) or Ivan García Cortina (Movistar), Kozi knew that at Collada de Brenes They will be without a chance. Finally, he managed to anticipate the heel Michel Hessmann (Movistar), Magnus Sheffield (Ineos), James Shaw (EF), Finaly Pickering (Bahrain Victorious) a Brieuc Rolland (Groupama-FDJ).

This five came to the final hill with 40 seconds to the game with Ayusom and five minutes before the peloton. However, it did not last long because of the back Soler put on a rough pace for his leader, quickly tightened Ayusa to his forehead and ran the final attack. He could only answer that Javier Romo Of the Movistar and the pair of Spaniards, the peak cut 37 seconds ahead of the strongest of the leak residues.

In the subsequent downhill, they expanded their advantage and after exemplary cooperation came to the destination Buelna Corrales led by a comfortable lead. In the final sprint showed total inexperience Javier Romothat made in the last kilometer badly cook everything and Juan Ayuso enjoyed it professorly. UAE Emirates is already celebrating its fifth stage triumph.
