The director of Tour of Spain, Javier Guilléndescribed as “news” is the confirmation of the presence of the Danish Jonas Vingegaardvirtual winner of the Tour de France, in the next edition of the Spanish round that leaves Barcelona on August 26.
“We didn’t expect his presence because he hasn’t announced it yet so the news is doubly pleasant. It is an honor to welcome the winner of the Tour de France on our roads and with this addition we can say a truly luxurious participation, the best possible”, Guillén assured EFE.
The leader of the Vuelta had feared that holding the World Cup in August could damage his career in terms of participation, but he is proving the opposite effect.
“The World Cup will not affect everyone, according to what we are verifying and the integration vingegaard came to confirm. I think to the side Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic, Gerainth Thomas, Juan Ayuso and Enric Mas It will be one of the best engagements ever in a tour that will be amazing for all of them and for the public,” he added.
Guillén emphasized that it was “an unexpected dream” and expressed his desire to start the Vuelta in Barcelona.
