The 150 kilometers of stage 15 between Tineo and the Santuario del Acebo was another test in which Colombian riders, favorites to the title, failed again.
The big winner of the day was Sepp Kuss, American cyclist of the Jumbo-Visma team. He reached the finish line with a mark of 4 hours, 19 minutes and 9 seconds. He arrived alone and climbed to the top of the podium very deservedly.

However, the greatest news was in the general classification. Alejandro Valverde and Primoz Roglic burst the group of favorites, leaving Nairo Quintana and Miguel Ángel López behind. The Spaniard and the Slovenian took time in the general, but the coup d'etat was put by Roglic.
The Jumbo-Visma leader climbed the mountain again with all his power and is already putting an end to the competition. If nothing extraordinary happens, he will arrive in Madrid dressed in red and will be the new champion of the Tour of Spain.
