Observational study of 36 male professional cyclists in the 2020 Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a, categorized as climbers (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a013), all\u2010rounders (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a013), and flat specialists (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a010). Power meter data from 17 stages (3 flat, 9 semi\u2010mountainous, 5 mountain) were analyzed using principal component analysis and mixed models to assess changes across stage progression (0%\u2013100%). Climbers showed high initial high\u2010intensity power in mountain stages, decreasing by 40.70\u00a0W per 10%, with average power increasing by 8.45\u00a0W per 10%. All\u2010rounders' average power increased by 0.25\u00a0W per 10% in mountain, 0.03\u00a0W in semi\u2010mountainous, and 10.40\u00a0W in flat stages. Flat specialists' average power increased by 0.26\u00a0W in mountain, decreased by 0.04\u00a0W in semi\u2010mountainous, and increased by 9.29\u00a0W in flat stages. Mountain stages had high initial intensity with efficiency rising by 0.02 per 10%; semi\u2010mountainous stages showed mixed patterns; flat stages had power increases of 9.29\u201310.40\u00a0W per 10%. Workload varies by role and stage, offering insights for targeted training and tactics in Grand Tours.\n
