The extreme heat forced the reduction of the 15th stage of the Vuelta. The stage, which was initially planned for 189.7 kilometers, was shortened to 110.2 kilometers due to adverse weather conditions.
The start of the stage is now scheduled for 2:00 PM, Lisbon time. This change aims to protect the cyclists from the high temperatures experienced during the competition.
The organization of the Vuelta made this decision to ensure the safety of the participants in light of the extreme heat that has been recorded during this edition of the race.
