Carlos Rodriguez, Omar Fraile's title holder with Ineos, is now in his place. He worked hard to win the title, and from a promise of Spanish-language cycling, he is finally present. He will be wearing the Vuelta jersey of the Spanish champion. His team, the Ineos Grenadiers dedicated their support to him via social media.

I was able make a counterattack and go solo. It was already a time trial to the finish line and whatever it had been. It worked out to be champion. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't," explained the cyclist about his strategy to win the title.

It was a very traditional race in which Carlos Rodriguez and Jesus Herrada (Cofidis), as well as Alex Aranburu, (Movistar), escaped. They were the ones with the most titles to the final four-lap circuit. The main obstacle being Coll de Sa Belief. This was exactly where the sexitan unleashed his devastating attack to prove that he was the most powerful in the uphill battle, and to assert his superiority. Carlos Rodriguez defeated Juan Ayuso (UAE), his generational rival who came in fourth. He was fourth in the time trial two days ago, 31 seconds behind Raul Garca Pierna (Kern Pharma).
