We already witnessed an unexpected outcome from the Stage 5 race as Marc Soler managed to sprint after crossing Irun. Rudy Molard managed to secure the 4th spot, which was enough to get Red Jersey. However, Jersey was worn by Primoz Roglic, who was in the hunt for the 4th consecutive win.

If we use Primoz Roglic’s percentages as a starting point, The Slovenian from Jumbo-Visma is the clear favorite for Thursday’s stage if you take into account Tuesday’s stage victory. Roglic has a supporter to help him bring back the day’s leading group after giving the leader’s jersey to Rudy Molard of Groupama-FDJ on Wednesday.

Remco Evenepoel, who will also have to prove his value on the Pico Jano for the classification this Vuelta, is a rider we are eagerly anticipating. Of course, the Belgian is not alone in this; individuals like Richard Carapaz, Carlos Rodriguez, and Pavel Sivakovy are all affected. Joao Almeida and Tao Geoghegan Hart of the INEOS Grenadiers Important arrivals include Juan Ayuso and Brandon McNulty (both from the UAE). Ben O’Connor for AG2R Citroen previously demonstrated that his legs are in good condition. Enric Mas also made a strong impression on the ride to Laguardia by finishing third, giving him plenty of confidence for the first significant uphill finish.
