On a stage where we expected disruption in the battle for the red jersey, we were not disappointed. João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) took a symbolic and powerful stage win from race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Visma–Lease a Bike), cutting marginally into the race lead.
The steep inclines saw a savage splintering of the main contenders' group, with Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) the most conspicuous victim of the slopes of the Angliru, losing more than 70 seconds on the red jersey.
Despite Pidcock's losses being more visible, it was Matteo Jorgenson (Visma–Lease a Bike) and Bruno Armirail (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) who saw their general classification hopes dashed. Entering stage 13 in 7th and 6th, respectively, they both fell out of the top 10 completely following a struggle on the ascent of the Angliru.
The biggest general classification winner, by contrast, was Jai Hindley (Red Bull–Bora-Hansgrohe). His third-place finish on the Angliru saw him climb from eighth to fourth in the overall standings. He now sits 3:00 down on Vingegaard.
Felix Gall (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) sits 15 seconds behind him in fifth place, ahead of one of the day's big successes, Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull–Bora-Hansgrohe), 4:01 down in sixth.
Matthew Riccitello (Israel–Premier Tech) made a powerful showing on the Angliru, finishing with Pidcock and climbing to seventh place at 4:33.
Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) and Torstein Træen (Bahrain Victorious) both dropped in the standings after a tough day on the slopes, now in 8th and 9th place at 4:54 and 5:21, respectively.
Despite losing the pace of the lead duo, past Vuelta winner Sepp Kuss (Visma–Lease a Bike) showcased his climbing form to move into 10th place. At a gap of only 5:26, the battle for the upper spots of the general classification still seems very much open as the second week of racing draws to a close.

Maillot Rojo/Red Jersey – The red jersey is worn by the overall race leader on the general classification who has completed the stages so far in the lowest accumulated time.
Maillot Verde/Green Jersey – The green jersey is the points classification. Points are awarded to riders at the intermediate sprints and stage finishes. The rider with the most points leads the ranking.
