The race: Today's stage had four first-category climbs, a last chance for Fabio Aru to wrest those six seconds between second place and winning the Vuelta a España. Jérôme Coppel did not start stage 20.
The aggression was intense from the gun. Quickly about 20 riders went clear and soon after another 29 went after them. By the time the race was near the top of the second ascent, the Puerto de la Morcuera, Ruben Plaza (Lampre-Merida) was 1min 38sec ahead of a big group, 47 riders. The two breaks had merged. The Red-Jersey group was about ten minutes behind Plaza.
As the riders began the third climb, the second time up the Morcuera and with 63 kilometers to go, Plaza was 2min 16sec ahead of what was now 36 chasers and he was twelve minutes in front of the main group.
As the Morcuera began to bite, the attacks started flying. And then the expected happened. Fabio Aru went hard with teammate Mikel Landa. Six riders could stay with Landa and Aru: Tom Dumoulin, Joaquin Rodriguez, Rafal Majka, Nairo Quintana, Esteban Chaves and Mikel Nieve.
Right before the summit Aru attacked again and this time Dumoulin and Nieve could not match the move. With thirty kilometers to go Aru was 33 seconds ahead of Dumoulin.
Dumoulin was clearly in trouble. He had run out of gas before he ran out of race. With eighteen kilometers left, he was now two minutes behind Aru. At the top of the final climb, the Puerto dos Cotos, Ruben Plaza had a 90-second lead over his nearest chasers. The Aru group was about five minutes behind and Dumoulin was three minutes behind Aru. Importantly, Joaquin Rodriguez was in the Aru group and was headed for a GC second place.
Plaza won the stage after a heroic ride of 115 kilometers off the front alone. This is surely one of cycling's great rides. Dumoulin came in 7min 30sec after Plaza. With that, he was not even on the GC podium.
