Sprint finishes and intermediate sprints will drive the points competition, breakaways can quickly transform the mountains standings and the white jersey will develop alongside many of the same stages that decide the general classification. Each update will show the latest standings after the day’s racing and highlight the important changes across all four competitions.

General Classification Standings after Stage 12Enric Mas has extended his lead by 27 seconds in the race with a strong attack on Calar Alto and a tactical masterclass by Movistar, who anticipated their rivals and managed to have riders supporting Mas in the key moments of the race.

The difference to Primoz Roglic is of 1:45 minutes now, likely enough to survive the race’s time trial still in the lead. Felix Gall wasn’t able to make the difference or gain time on Roglic, meaning he remains third at 2:06 minutes from the lead.

With a strong display, Richard Carapaz has climbed into fourth position in the race, 3:53 minutes down on the red jersey. He overtook Oscar Onley who crashed early in the day and had a meaningful time loss. The Briton is now fifth, 4:29 minutes away from the lead.

Jakob Omrzel began the day as 10th on GC and finished it in sixth place, moving up four positions and putting himself with 30 seconds of Onley’s Top5 place.

Mattias Skjelmose, Sepp Kuss, Gregor Muhlberger and Harold Tejada close out the Top10.

Wout Van Aert has continued accumulating some points in the classification through the smaller climbs, putting him in second place on the KOM classification. But the difference to Santiago Buitrago has grown.

Both riders were in the breakaway today and, with its success, we have seen Buitrago gather up a lead of what are now 52 points. Enric Mas, with 24, is in third place but a distant one.

Oscar Onley remains in the lead of the youth classification, but it has taken a major hit. Jarno Widar has fell out of the battle for the jersey, but Jakob Omrzel has gained major time on the Briton.

The difference is of only 30 seconds now, with Omrzel having gained over 5 minutes at the finish line in Calar Alto.
