José Antonio Redondo takes the lead in the general classification after the second stage, leaving the XXX Vuelta Ciclista al Norte de Gran Canaria wide open before Saturday's finale in Arucas.
The 30th Tour of Northern Gran Canaria faces its decisive day with a change of leader after the demanding second stage between Agaete and Teror. The 75,7-kilometer medium-mountain route toughened the race and caused a shake-up in the general classification.
The biggest beneficiary was José Antonio Redondo (Tenerife Bike Point – La Sede) , who, thanks to his consistency and the time bonuses he earned during the stage, donned the yellow jersey. The stage victory went to Aimar Quintana (Eiser – Hirumet Team), although the two will start the final day separated by just four seconds, keeping the excitement for the overall win alive.

The organization also highlighted the sporting growth of the Gran Canaria – EKD – Bike Team , which improved its performance compared to the opening day and placed Daniel Lado as the best Canarian cyclist in the event.
The race will conclude this Saturday with a stage of approximately 90 kilometers between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Arucas , a route featuring several strategic points and time bonuses that could decide the overall classification. With minimal gaps between the favorites, the 30th Vuelta Ciclista al Norte de Gran Canaria will reach its climax with everything still to play for.
