The GC stalemate between João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) has continued at the Vuelta a España, with two brutal days in Asturias bringing only a two-second gain for the Portuguese rider, and that's only with bonus seconds.
Even with 338.6km, almost 8,000 metres of elevation gain, and six categorised climbs on stages 13 and 14 to l'Angliru and La Farrapona, only centimetres separated them at both finish lines, with Almeida winning the former and Vingegaard crossing the line ahead for second place behind the solo break winner on the latter.
