Sébastien Molano unlocks his counter on this Vuelta 2023. Stronger than his opponents in the final sprint, the Colombian won the 12th stage. He finishes ahead of Kaden Groves and Garçon Van Poppel. The favorites had a calm day before tackling the Tourmalet tomorrow.
Situated between two summit finishes, this stage with a toboggan-like profile did not have an unprecedented outcome. Only two riders took the breakaway. Abel Balderstone and Jetsé Bol are today’s brave souls. However, the peloton never gave them any hope and kept them within reach throughout the day.
Inevitably, a mass sprint is looming as the kilometers are covered. Despite Bol’s last attempt and a timid attempt by Bahreïn-Victorious to create a split, everything will be decided in the final straight.
While Kaden Groves seemed to be in a comfortable position with two teammates ahead of him at 500 meters from the finish line, a UAE duo emerged. Propelled by Rui Oliveira, Molano flew towards victory. This time, Groves couldn’t catch up and had to settle for second place.
