La Vuelta 2020 ha il suo padrone: è Primoz Roglic, che dopo il successo dello scorso anno concede il bis consecutivo. In occasione della 17^ e decisiva tappa, la Sequeros › Alto de la Covatilla, dove trionfa David Gaudu (Groupama – FDJ), lo sloveno della Jumbo – Visma resiste agli attacchi di Richard Carapaz (Ineos) ed è pronto a portare la maglia rossa fino a Madrid.
È il momento chiave. Dopo sedici giorni di gara e tante difficoltà, è quest’oggi che si decide l’ultimo Grand Tour della stagione. E non può che decidersi, come da tradizione, con l’ultimo tappone in salita: 178.2 i chilometri in programma, con cinque Gran Premi della Montagna prima di quello conclusivo verso l’Alto de Covatilla, 11.4 km al 7.1%.
Nutrita la fuga di giornata, in attesa che la lotta tra i contendenti alla maglia rossa si accenda. Tra gli attaccanti, spiccano Lennard Hofstede (Jumbo-Visma), Remi Cavagna (Deceuninck-Quick Step), Alberto Rui Costa e David De la Cruz (UAE Team Emirates), Omar Fraile e Ion Izagirre (Astana), Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe), Julius Van den Berg (EF Pro Cycling), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), Jesus Herrada e Guillame Martin (Cofidis), Imanol Erviti (Movistar).
La Jumbo-Visma si premura di tirare il gruppo sin dalle prime fasi e, se in un primo momento ha intenzione di chiudere subito sulla fuga, in seguito decide che siano i fuggitivi a giocarsi il successo parziale.
Tra questi, alla fine, la spunta David Gaudu, giovane e promettente francese che già si era imposto in quest’edizione in un’altra giornata cruciale, quella di La Farrapona. Nonostante le pendenze ostiche, l’atleta transalpino taglia il traguardo con mezzo minuto di vantaggio sullo svizzero Gino Mader (NTT) e uno sullo spagnolo Ion Izaguirre (Movistar).
I big giungono a poco più di due minuti. Richard Carapaz prova in tutti i modi a sferrare l’attacco decisivo, ma pur guadagnando 21″ su Roglic, non riesce a sfilargli di dosso la maglia rossa, che dunque resta sulle spalle dello sloveno.
Quest’ultimo, a differenza del Tour de France, riesce a salvarsi per via delle tre tappe in meno in quest’edizione, conquistando così il suo secondo Grand Tour iberico. Sul podio di Madrid finirà anche Hugh Carthy (EF).
