  • La Vuelta takes a rest day after a demanding week, with Enric Mas holding a 2:06-minute lead over Felix Gall and a 2:10 advantage over Primoz Roglic.
  • The decisive stages include Thursday’s 32.1-kilometre time trial in Jerez and summit finishes at Peñas Blancas and the new Collado del Alguacil.
  • Racing resumes Tuesday with a 181.1-kilometre stage from Cortegana to Palos de la Frontera that could suit sprinters.

La Vuelta will pause on Monday after a punishing week in the heat, but the race is entering its decisive stretch with Enric Mas still in firm control of the overall standings.

Mas leads Austria’s Felix Gall by 2 minutes and 6 seconds and Slovenia’s Primoz Roglic by 2 minutes and 10 seconds. His advantage will face its biggest tests in the final stages of the race.

Thursday’s 32.1-kilometre time trial in Jerez will measure the strength of Mas and his closest rivals. The last major verdicts are expected on the climbs to Peñas Blancas and the new, daunting summit finish at Collado del Alguacil.

Racing returns Tuesday with the 16th stage, a 181.1-kilometre route from Cortegana to Palos de la Frontera that offers a potential sprint. The peloton remains concerned about the high temperatures, while two weeks of competition have already taken their toll.
