the Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Quick Step)leader of the Vuelta, was not worried about the crash he suffered on Thursday’s stage and preferred to focus “on the race and the next mountain stages”.
“The fall didn’t affect me much, I felt fresh after two hard days. Falls are things that happen in cycling, plus my teammates helped me a lot and I took it easy. I got up quickly and joined the peloton, then I did the work I have to do. In the events of life,” he said.
Evenepoel attributed the fall to the “slippery” state of the road, “something normal on roads in the south Spain“.
“I saw my leg covered in dirt and oil. The front wheel slipped and I fell. The same thing happened to me. ala philippebut I slipped,” he explained.
The red jersey of the Vuelta hopes that the accident will not affect him physically or mentally.
“I’m fine and I trust the team doctors, I’m in good hands. I don’t want to stress myself with the crash because I’m losing energy. I just focus on the race and the next mountain stages,” he said.
