The brutal slopes up Pico Villuercas were conquered by Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) after an intense battle towards the first summit finish of the Vuelta 2024. The Slovenian set the pace on the steeper sections of the final ascent and eventually got the better of the young Belgian Lennert van Eetvelt (Lotto Dstny) to take his 20th Grand Tour stage win (13 in La Vuelta, 3 in the Tour, 4 in the Giro).
