Pablo Castrillo drops his breakaway companions Pavel Sivakov and Aleksandr Vlasov as the Cuitu Negru becomes extremely steep in the last 3 kilometres. Vlasov catches him with 800 metres to go, but the Spaniard digs deep to pull away again and solo to his second victory of the week. Ben O'Connor limits his losses to retain the red jersey.

Vuelta 2024 Route stage 15: Infiesto – Cuitu Negru

Sunday 1 September - Stage 15 on La Vuelta is a mountainous race of 142.9 kilometres. The riders tackle the Alto de Santo Emiliano and a double ascent of the Alto de la Colladiella before the Cuitu Negru is certainly going to cause havoc. It's an extremely long drag with an inhumanly steep finale.
