Vuelta 2015 Favourites stage 15: Break away riders vs. GC guys
The venom of stage 15 is in the second half with three climbs, including the 12.7 kilometres closing climb. In theory it could be for a bunch of adventurous mind, but you never know. When the GC guys feel like it, it could be their party too... (Slideshow route/profile)
Expect the likes of Mike Landa, Bert-Jan Lindeman, Jelle Vanendert, Alessandro De Marchi, Rubén Plaza, Blel Kadri, Pierre Rolland and Fränk Schleck eyeing up a seat in the front group.
Are the escapees reeled in on the closing climb, then it will be up to the big men this Vuelta: Aru, Rodríguez, Chaves, Majka and Dumoulin.
*** Rubén Plaza, Pierre Rolland, Mikel Landa
** Alejandro Valverde, Fabio Aru, Nairo Quintana, Domenico Pozzovivo
