We woke up the day with an outraged ayuso with the statement issued by his team, where UAE explained that his cyclist would not follow the year that … It comes with them, something that Alicante did not like. I have rarely heard such strong statements against his own team by a cyclist. Each one who makes their valuations. For the rest, after a day of rest and with the recovered forces, everyone knew that Larra Belagua’s stage was suitable for a getaway to arrive, all the teams had the same order of their directors: ‘Today it is time to be in the escape’. And that made the first 100 kilometers surrounded at 50 km/h. A stage madness in which Vingegaard himself tested with his fellow Championaert to enter a cut, especially to try to calm that fury in the squad.
It reminds me when this type of stages touched us where we knew that the escape was going to leave, the directors kept insisting on being in front and every cut that occurred seemed to be the good and from the car they shouted so that we were going to enter it. It was incredible stress and immense leg pain.
In the end, after so much fight, logic was imposed and a large group managed to enter that getaway. Once the escape was consolidated, Vine played with everyone, demonstrated her strength and achieved her second triumph in a brilliant way.
Among the men of General Almeida, enraged and launched by an ayuso, angry, tried Vingegaard, but the only thing he got is that they bring lost the red jersey, which already passes to the great favorite. At least UAE has managed to have to keep control of the race from now on. Today with the arrival in Bilbao, stage to enjoy with a nervous ending and where we will see the Basque fans again with the Ikurriñas enjoy this great day. Hopefully Ayuso has calmed his anger and the squad competes without such fury.
