the dutch Mike Teunissen (Jumbo-Visma), head of the Vuelta, pointed that out wearing the red jersey is “even more special” than the yellow of the Tourdress she wore in 2019 after winning in Brussels in the first stage of the “grande boucle”.
“Actually, winning is not really a plan. I have been saying for several days that our main goal is to protect Primoz Roglic, and in fact this is still the main idea today. However, this morning my colleagues surprised me by telling me that, if everything went well and Primoz entered safely in the last 3 kilometers, we could try to be the first to cross the finish line.“, he explained excitedly at the finish line.
Once with victory in his pocket, Teunissen compared the feeling of wearing the red Vuelta jersey and the yellow Tour de France jersey.
“It’s been very special. Wearing the yellow jersey is very special, but getting the red one after that is perhaps even more special.. I want more, but today has been a rare day. I really want to run tomorrow. In my country, with all these people having fun, it will certainly be very good for me and for the whole world”, he concluded.
