The Jumbo Visma went ahead of the traditional tribute of the last stage to the winner of a grand tour, in this case the Vuelta a España, a race that the Dutch team has dominated overwhelmingly to the point of placing three of its riders on the final podium. Last stage for Kaden Groves.
A podium made up of Sepp Kuss, the surprising winner, Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic, two of the best cyclists in the world and who wanted to make clear their joy at the triumph of their partner, the luxury gregarious who has helped them in their numerous triumphs.

Which in the case of the Dane are the last two Tours of France and in the case of the Slovenian, speaking only of great stage races, three Vuelta and a Giro.
As if eager to show a unity that was doubted in the Angliru, when Roglic’s pace, with the three of them alone, left a Kuss on the brink of elimination that he found in Mikel Landa’s wheel, a lifeline like few will need anymore. not in his sports career, but in his life.
Groves won the last stage between the Hipódromo de la Zarzuela and Madrid. Paisaje de la Luz, over 101 kilometers, in which Sepp Kuss was crowned champion and the best Colombian was Santiago Buitrago, tenth.
The 1, 2 and 3
The 1, 2 and 3 of the Jumbo Visma in this edition of the Vuelta breaks a streak of 57 years, as the last time that three riders from the same team finish on the podium of the race.
It happened in the 1996 Vuelta, when the cyclists of the Kas-Kaskol team did it in a sensational year.
That time, Francisco Gabica was the champion, Eusebio Vélez was second and Carlos Echeverría was third.
The Colombians
Santiago Buitrago was the best rider in the country overall, placing tenth, while Einer Rubio was 16th.
Sergio Higuita, Diego Camargo, Egan Bernal and Juan Sebastián Molano also finished, who was the only one to win the stage.
