At the start

Into Galicia, a day for the escape

Two days in Asturias have settled remarkably little: Jonas Vingegaard leads João Almeida by 48 seconds, Tom Pidcock by 2:38. Today eases off — one category one climb early, then a long grind west into rural Galicia. Legs are heavy, the GC teams have no reason to chase, and every breakaway rider in the race knows it.
