Vuelta a Burgos

Thursday came with the first mountain stage of this edition, one which ended up opening some important gaps between the general classification contenders, despite the fact the main ascent of the day came more than twenty kilometers from the finish.

Puerto de Ordoña was the climb where the race exploded, leaving the peloton in pieces. A small group formed before the top of the first-category ascent and continued like this on the descent and on the undulating part to the finish, where Leo Bisiaux (Decathlon-AG2R) took the victory after attacking his companions and building a small gap in the closing kilometers.

Racing for the first time since the month of May, Mikel Landa came home together with Soudal Quick-Step teammate Antoine Huby, who is our squad’s best placed rider in the overall standings after three stages. Vuelta a Burgos continues with a day for the puncheurs on the hilly roads to Regumiel de la Sierra, but also a breakaway could have a chance of prevailing in the small town located in the Castilla y Leon community.
