Fabio Jakobsen , on his birthday, won the sixteenth stage of La Vuelta , from Laredo to Santa Cruz de Bezana of 180 km. The Deceuninck Quick Step rider, with his third success in the Spanish race, preceded Jordi Meeus and Matteo Trentin in a sprint.

The general classification does not change: the Norwegian Christian Odd Eiking , of Intermarchè Wanty Gobert , is always in the red jersey ahead of Guillaume Martin and Primoz Roglic . Of note is the retirement, after a fall, of Giulio Ciccone.

Tomorrow the climb will start again with the first of the two consecutive high altitude arrivals: the finish line will be in Lagos de Covadonga after 185 km.
