Stage 17 preview: Santander → Fuente Dé, 187 km (Hilly/Summit finish)

4. septembar: Vuelta se nastavlja u sredu, 17. etapom koja donosi još jedan cilj na vrhu uspona. Cilj na vrhu uspona 2. kategorije Fuente Dé je, sa 17 km, veoma dug, ali je sa prosečnim nagibom od 3,9% prilično skroman za standarde Vuelte, tako da je malo verovatno da može dovesti do bitnije promene u poretku i vremenima pretendenata na generalni plasman.

I pored toga, Alberto Kontador (Contador) će morati da odluči da li na ovoj etapi postoji mogućnost da uradi nešto zanačajno ili će sve svoje nade morati da položi u poslednju planinsku etapu, onu sa brojem 20, koja se vozi u subotu. — Steve (prevod: Comarello)
