This is the penultimate stage of the race - and arguably the toughest yet.
George, Mahoric, Gallego, Dees and Rojas Gil went clear
But a more interesting attack came 6km from the summit as 4th overall and KoM leader Koldo Gil. He only has a slender KoM lead over Mancebo so perhaps that is more important to him than a top 5 overall?
Gil crosses 6th on the first climb and then 3rd at the second, behind Gallego and Mahoric. At the 3rd climb, he is caught Mahoric and is closing in on Gallego.
But with 80km to go, the gap is already down to 7 minutes and it continues to fall. Onto the 4th climb, Gil has caught Gallego, but you can already see the peleton closing in.
And things just got very interesting! Mancebo, Lovkvist and Menchov have got a gap!
Gil tops the 4th climb first - the first climb he has led over today
But its impact on extending his KoM lead is small as Mancebo crosses in 2nd, a minute later, having just about dislodged Menchov
Behind Mancebo and Menchov 6 riders have also got off the front of the peleton, Serpa, Marchante, Contador, Plaza, Gesink and Intxausti.
Now onto the fairly short 5th climb of the day and Mancebo catches Gil. It could all be going horribly wrong for the Nintendo rider - he is sure to drop places overall, and he might not have done enough to keep the KoM jersey with Mancebo looking set to score a lot more points.
But although soon dropped by Mancebo, Gils clings on to 2nd place and in crossing 2nd, just ahead of Menchov, he has secured the KoM jersey.
The chasing group gained some reinforcements over the top of the climb with teammates of Mancebo's main rivals getting across: Rodriguez Oliver and Sanchez Gil. Castano made the junction.
The chase group then closed in Menchov, with Gil already caught and being dropped. But a group of 9 are closing in on them: Mercado, Pedraza, Efimkin, Mayo, Petrov, Marzano, Moreno, Perez Sanchez and Nozal
Only Perez Sanchez and Moreno can actually get across though, as the rest all lose ground again
The pressure really is on Plaza. Mancebo's lead is at 1'30 - and it will be very hard for Plaza to make that, plus the 43 second deficit he already has to Mancebo, up in the final time trial.
Rodriguez Oliver and Sanchez Gil are quickly dropped and although all the riders take relays, Plaza is the one who has to dig the deepest. The gap falls tp just 1 minute
It then starts to stabilise at a minute, as Moreno is dropped
A minutes loss could be ok for Plaza, it would be close but he could maybe do it ... not now though! Plaza cracks!!
The group splinters with Marchante, Gesink, Castano and Contador pulling away.
Theyre not going to catch Mancebo though - Mancebo is on his way to winning this race.
Just the stage win for now, but it would take a disaster for him to lose it in the final stage TT around Madrid
Gesink takes 2nd ahead of Contador
Both Castano and Marchante struggled in the final kilometre.
Behind Castano in 5th came Intxausti and Serpa.
Next was Rodriguez Oliver, leaving his teammate behind as Menchov struggled over the line for 9th
Plaza crosses 10th. He has suffered heavy losses today
Gil eventually finished 29th, over 11 minutes behind Mancebo. He will win the KoM competition, but drops 9 spots to 13th overall
