What we said beforehand

Stage 9 of the Vuelta finishes atop Valdezcaray for the first time since 2021, capping off a long and punishing day with over 3,200 metres of climbing. Though the stage features just one categorised ascent, the constant undulations will test the GC riders before the first rest day. The final climb is steady rather than steep, making big time gaps unlikely, but positioning and fatigue could still shape the standings.
