Sebastian Molano unlocks his counter on this Vuelta 2023. Stronger than his opponents in the final package, the Colombian won the 12th stage. He imposes himself in front Kaden Groves et Boy Van Poppel. The favorites had a quiet day before tackling the Tourmalet tomorrow.
Located between two finishes at the top, this toboggan-like stage will not have experienced an unprecedented outcome. Only two riders take the breakaway. Abel Balderstone et Jetse Bol are the two brave of the day. The peloton nevertheless leaves them no hope and keeps them within reach throughout the day.
Inevitable, the massive sprint looms over the kilometers covered. Despite a last last stand from Bol and a timid attempt to edge Bahrain-Victoriouseverything will be decided in the last straight line.
While Kaden Groves seemed on velvet with two more teammates in front of him 500 meters from the line, a UAE duo emerged. Powered by Rui Oliveira, Molano soared to victory. This time, Groves was unable to overcome it and had to settle for 2nd place.
