Marc SOLER. 10 and praise. The sun never sets on Marc, and today at La Farrapona, the happy face of this 31-year-old shines. Second seasonal victory for Marc, fourth at the Vuelta, tenth in his career, the 80th for UAE Emirates, which in this Vuelta brings partial successes to 7, never has any team succeeded in doing the same in Iberian history. Numbers for a rider who today truly makes a statement. Fourth consecutive victory for the Emirates team, which confirms itself as by far the strongest in the world.

Jonas VINGEGAARD. 7. He does the essential, doesn't torment his soul, doesn't get agitated, his goal is not to let go of Almeida's wheel and nothing more. For him, it's already a lot, it's everything. For us, it's a return to an ancient cycling, made of waiting, tactics, and patient psychological work. Jonas is not a man who disrupts the cards, he always keeps them in order on the table.

Joao ALMEIDA. 8. It's clear that the legs, for now, are these and are in line with those of the "fisherman". In this phase, we are at leveling, and it's up to him to try more, because until proven otherwise, he's behind. UAE's tactic is clear: bring home today's stage and with the Portuguese try to find the right day: the Vuelta is not over.

Jay HINDLEY. 8. He makes our Giulio Pellizzari work, who in the finale prepares the ground for him as he should, then he tries, with a furious acceleration. He's not Pogacar, this is clear to the world, but he tries with generous determination. He brings home little, but it doesn't matter.

Felix GALL. 7. He knows he must do as Vingegaard does: not waste energy and stay there, and in the end, he almost succeeds.

Giulio PELLIZZARI. 8. He's doing well and it shows. He has endurance, clarity, and doesn't hold back when it's time to pull. He pulls and doesn't let go. He pulls and stays there, in the noble zones, behind Pidcock, who could even drop back, but can't use him as a support point.

Matthew RICCITELLO. 7. The kid pedals well, doesn't dazzle, but sings.

Tom PIDCOCK. 6.5. Loses to Hindley by 10", very little, and this is worth a lot.

Torstein TRAEEN. 6.5. The former red jersey arrives 11th, but returns to the top ten overall.

Johannes STAUNE-MITTET. 6.5. The talent from Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team shows what he's made of. The 23-year-old winner of the 2023 Giro Next Gen puts himself to the test and plays.

Finlay PICKERING. 6.5. The 22-year-old from Cottingham, United Kingdom. He arrived at the Vuelta at the last minute, to replace our Damiano Caruso, who injured his hand. He brings enthusiasm and desire to do. The Bahrain youngster is champing at the bit: a thoroughbred foal.

Gianmarco GAROFOLI. 6.5. Taking advantage of the slopes of Puerto de San Lorenzo from the breakaway, the 22-year-old from Marche of Soudal Quick-Step tries to gain an advantage. Yesterday he attacked, today also, tomorrow...

Andrea BAGIOLI. 6.5. The 26-year-old from Valtellina of Lidl-Trek is doing well. He's doing well and enters today's breakaway with Mikkel Bjerg and Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates - XRG), Victor Campenaerts (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) and his teammate Carlos Verona, Jefferson Alveiro Cepeda (Movistar Team), Nico Denz and Tim van Dijke (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe), Gianmarco Garofoli (Soudal Quick-Step) and James Shaw (EF Education - EasyPost), Bruno Armirail, Jordan Labrosse, Léo Bisiaux and Johannes Staune-Mittet (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team), Finlay Pickering (Bahrain - Victorious) and Fausto Masnada (XDS Astana Team), Pierre Thierry (Arkéa - B&B Hotels) and Sergio Samitier and Jesús Herrada (Cofidis), Dion Smith (Intermarchè - Wanty) and Kevin Vermaerke (Team Picnic PostNL) to arrive at Jan Hirt (Israel - Premier Tech). From this "palette" of colors, today's beauty is born.

Giulio CICCONE. 5.5. In the end, he is forced to lift his foot from the accelerator: now he must think about the world championship and the end of the season, also the end of the Vuelta: he arrives 21 minutes back and drops out of the classification, to try to enter something else: perhaps in a breakaway.

Jonas RICKAERT. 6. The Alpecin Deceunick rider is the first to shoot off like a rocket. He can't sit still, he wants to arrive: and he starts.

ISRAEL. 8. "The team name remains Israel - Premier Tech, but the kit with monogram now aligns with the branding decisions we previously adopted for our vehicles and casual wear," says the note from the Israeli team, which in the end must adapt, removing the name from the jersey as well. The important thing, however, was not to remove themselves from the race.
