Enric Mas of Movistar currently holds the lead at the ongoing Vuelta a España, with Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe rider Primož Roglič standing as the closest challenger to his red jersey.

However, persistent attacker Richard Carapaz of EF Education-EasyPost is seen as the key figure who could potentially turn the race completely on its head during Saturday's final mountain stage.

Considered one of the most exciting riders in the peloton, Carapaz is widely known for launching attacks whenever the road presents an opportunity. Even when logic is against him, he remains a constant threat to move ahead and break away from the main field.
