The last 46 kilometers are the most difficult of all; the fatigued riders must first conquer the category one Puerto de la Morcuera (km 143.7), a 9.4 km climb with an average slope of 6.9 percent and a summit gradient of just under 10 percent, before facing the race’s last mountain.

As Evenepeol leads the standings with his Alpha Vinyl Team, we have an important race event to witness in the upcoming Vuelta a Espana. Along with Evenepeol, the other writers in the contest will also share the spotlight of being the favorites on the ground. The Catalan rider, Enric Mas Nicolau, will also fancy its chances to win and take on the table topper, Evenepeol.

Along with these two spearheads, Joao Almeida will also be fancying its chances to win and the UAE team into the final clash. The Portuguese rider has managed to pull off some consistent performances this season and is likely to win the race in the final phase.

Going in the race, much couldn’t be predicted as the trial itself is a tester for players from every lineup. However, the balance of odds will favor Remco Evenepeol, who is looking for another feather in his hat.

• Remco Evenepeol Wins - Yes for 6
• Enric Mas Nicolau Wins - Yes for 7
• Joao Almeida Wins - Yes for 9.9
