Another abandon on Stage 9 left the 2014 Vuelta a España with 194 riders and no fulcrum.

The two riders on the cusp of the fulcrum are Martijn Keizer of Belkin Pro Cycling and Filippo Pozzato of Lampre-Merida, who hold the 97th and 98th positions, respectively.

The mountainous stage led to a new leader in the general classification, Nairo Quintana. Matteo Pelucchi still holds the Lanterne Rouge.
