What we said beforehand

Stage 15 opens with the Puerto A Garganta, setting a tough tone from the start, with most of the climbing packed into the first half. The profile favours a successful breakaway, and the fight to form it could be long and punishing. The flat run to Monforte de Lemos still offers chances for late attacks in the final 40km. Magnus Cort last won here in 2021 from a seven-rider breakaway sprint.
