C'était la dernière bataille en montagne du Tour d'Espagne 2024 ! Avec ses sept ascensions répertoriées et son arrivée au sommet du Picon Blanco, la 20e étape de La Vuelta était très attendue. Ayant profité du marquage entre les principaux leaders de la course, Eddie Dunbar s'est imposé en solitaire après avoir attaqué à un peu moins de 5 bornes du sommet. Il s'agit de la deuxième victoire de l'Irlandais du Team Jayco AlUla sur ce Tour d'Espagne. Derrière le vainqueur du jour, les premiers du classement général n'ont été séparés que par quelques secondes, le meilleur d'entre eux ayant été Enric Mas (Movistar Team), deuxième à 7" d'Eddie Dunbar.

00:00Yeah, yeah, Mark, we spoke about on the rest day that I had unfinished business and me
00:10and Mark agreed that, excuse me, that he'd help me on the last day and yeah, he was able
00:22to help tire out the other two that were trying to go for the points.
00:27We saw that very early on and then also keep me super fresh so that I could go into the
00:35final of the stage and try and keep the Team GC as well, so it turns out we didn't need
00:43that because we had Isaac Finch just in front of me, but yeah, he helped out a lot and his
00:50legs were super strong and yeah, he's a really great, really great team mate.
00:56How difficult was it to get the last point, the second last climb because there was bonification
01:02as well?
01:03Yeah, all I knew was, yeah, I was told that I needed to take one, like just one more point
01:13and it was all secure and we were really, really under pressure from the guys behind
01:20and if they'd caught us on the Cat 2 before the Cat 1, then it would have been all to
01:27play for, for the GC guys to try and take the jersey, so we had to go a really long
01:32way into the final.
