C’est l’Espagnol Mikel Landa (Astana), 25 ans, qui a remporté la 11ème étape de la Vuelta a España. Au terme des 138 km et des 6 ascensions dont 1 classée hors catégories, il devance son coéquipier Fabio Aru de plus d’1 min et Ian Boswell du team SKY. Landa a déjà remporté 2 étape sur le Tour d’Italie cette saison.
Aru prend les commandes du général devant Joachim Rodriguez (Katusha) et Tom Dumoulin (Giant Alpecin).
Tour s’est joué dans le final, à 15 km du finish on retrouve 5 hommes en tête avec Boswell, Landa, Sicard, Poljanski et Oliveira. 2 min les séparent du groupe des favoris. Mais dans ce groupe de leaders, Fabio Aru décide d’attaquer . Rodriguez et Moreno accrochent sa roue mais ne peuvent suivent le rythme imposé par l’Italien. Froome est à la peine loin derrière et c’est Nicolas Roche qui reste auprès de son leader pour tenter de limiter la casse du Team SKY.
Devant Aru revient et passe un par un les fuyards, tous sauf un en la personne de son équipier Landa qui est parti seul quelques km avant. Ce dernier l’emporte en solitaire devant Aru.
Belle réponse des Astana sur ce tour d’Espagne après l’éviction de leur leader Vincenzo Nibali.
