The forecasts came true and the Belgian Remco Evenepoel it was not only imposed on the individual test at the time of tenth stage of La Vuelta30.9 kilometers between the cities of Elche Y Alicantebut increased its differences with the leader of the general classification of the Spanish round, so that the runner of Quick step will wear red this Wednesday for the fifth day. On a route for pure time trialists, flat and aerodynamic, Evenepoel dominated all the time trial sections, making good on the words of his partner in the Belgian formation Cavagnathird best record, who after completing his route said it was a good route for Remco.

Rémi didn’t have to say it, it was enough to see the CRI profile to realize that except for a few events the Belgian and leader of La Vuelta will destroy. He set the best times in the first two split time shots and even had the strength to get off the time trial bike in the final stretch and give everything to his legs in search of a few more seconds, given a race of three weeks ( there is still this and next week) any second its worth its gold price.

yes of courseVenepoel ordered a general classification before CRI with a difference of 1’12” on the surface Enrique Moreafter arguing the same the difference hit up to 2’41 with respect to a primoz roglic that from less to more, leaving 48 seconds with respect to the Belgian, who this Tuesday in Alicante (a city hosting its second stage after the one in 1906 with the success of Mariano Canardo) added his third time trial victory this season, after Switzerland Y Algarvethe first in La Vuelta and ninth of the year.

Enrique Morewho lost 1’02” with Roglic, went the other way than Slovenian, from more to less. 6th and 5th in the first two sets, he finished 10th, he saw how the Slovenian regained second place and how well Carlos Rodríguezwho in his debut at La Vuelta was already 4th.

things are even worse John Ayuso. The cyclist born in Barcelona, who spent the night with a headache, did not have the best of his performances. He had to settle for 17th and fell to sixth place overall, after the British Simon Yate snatched the fifth, just ahead of the companion joao almeidawho made a mistake in the last part of the time trial.

A CRI that has somewhat cleared the triumphal path of Remco Evenepoel towards the final victory towards the next September 11 at Madrid, but it’s also true that there are only two weeks left and Remco hasn’t finished a three-week cycle race yet. And after a painful day on Tuesday, the top role is open for the sprinters and for the favorites to ‘rest’ their legs.
