La Vuelta, after the intense day on the way to the Balcón de Alicante, arrives this Saturday at La Manga del Mar Menor, a totally flat day that is presented as another favorable day for sprinters. For the moment, Jasper Philipsen has shown himself as the fastest sprinter and also has the green jersey. Jakobsen has also made his debut, while other important names in the specialty such as Démare have not achieved the victory.
In principle, the wind should make an appearance, but it is not clear that any team is up to the task of tightening the race, and more after a day of so much wear and tear like that of the Balcón de Alicante. In it, in addition, he had to withdraw what was going to be one of the great attractions in the return of the race to Murcia, Alejandro Valverde, who after his terrible fall this Saturday will undergo surgery.
