Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team)winner of the 18th stage and leader of Lap 22 He assessed his performance this Thursday in the Spanish round in these words: “This is a new victory in my life. It was a really tough stage, with tough climbs at the end, early attacks from UAE with Almeida… The race was really tough, but we always stayed calm. I think it’s something I’ve learned, to always be calm. Like in the last kilometer, where we were 15 or 20 seconds away Gesink: in the end we caught up with him at 300 meters and I started at 200, because I knew it was a bit flat and in the winter I worked a lot on my sprint after a lot of effort. It has already paid off”, he stressed.
And then he detailed what the goal they were chasing was: “The goal is always to try to make the escape, because that way the bonuses don’t affect us. At the end, Klaas (Lodewyck, director of Quick Step) He told me I was leaving with him Henry (More) and at that moment I said to myself: ‘now you will also go to the stage’. Win a high end with The red is incredible. Enric is a very loyal rival. In the end, we worked together to win the stage. It was the most perfect day I can remember”
And in terms of leading the race, the Belgian pointed out that “victory in La Vuelta is not the end of the difficult stage that awaits us. Of course they will attack me. But maybe now it is easier to control, because I feel very good my legs. It’s been great for me and for the team these last three days”.
