What we said beforehand

Stage 19 offers a rare late-race chance for the sprinters, though the rolling terrain and a late uncategorised drag to Guijuelo could disrupt a straightforward bunch finish. If the sprint teams lack control, the breakaway will be in with a strong chance. Guijuelo lies near Bejar, birthplace of four-time Vuelta winner Roberto Heras.
