When it comes to racing on the Angliru - an ascent so hard it has often proved more than capable of deciding the overall outcome of the Vuelta a España, and which could well do so again on this Friday's stage 13 - literally nothing is set in stone, and that's true both for a climber as accomplished as Vuelta leader Jonas Vingegaard, and certainly for the rest of his GC rivals.
Given how important a role on which the Altu de L'Angliru, to give it its full name, has taken in the Vuelta, it's striking how recently the Angliru was first used with a win for the late José María Jiménez, back in 1999. Before that, it had never appeared in any race, let alone the Vuelta.
