"Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) maintains his iron grip on the green points jersey following another strong climbing performance on stage 13. Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe's Giulio Pellizzari continues to lead the white jersey classification as best young rider, and Almeida's teammate Jay Vine continues in the polka dot King of the Mountains jersey, following his excellent race so far, picking up two stage victories."
"The state of play ahead of today's action is as follows. Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) retains the red jersey as GC leader for the fourth consecutive day. He leads by 46 seconds, ahead of UAE Team Emirates' João Almeida. Almeida took victory ahead of Vingegaard on yesterday's stage, and will draw confidence from that ahead of another tough day in the mountains."
Today's stage profile begins with rolling terrain before three categorised climbs, the first arriving after 63 kilometres. Riders have rolled out and are covering the neutralised section ahead of the flag drop. Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) wears the green points jersey after a strong climbing performance on stage 13. Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe's Giulio Pellizzari leads the white jersey classification as best young rider, while Jay Vine holds the polka dot King of the Mountains jersey with two stage victories. Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) retains the red jersey with a 46-second lead over UAE Team Emirates' João Almeida, who won yesterday. The 135.9-kilometre stage from Avilés to La Farrapona features 3,805 metres of altitude gain and a summit finish at Lagos de Somiedo, promising fatigue after the Angliru ascent.
