Poels won before the wrath of Evenepoel, Kuss virtual champion of the Vuelta and new disappointment among the favourites

Date:

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and the team Jumbo-Visma, who took part in this Vuelta, wants to put this saying back on the table. In the last line Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic and Sepp Kuss They let themselves fall from the group of celebrities who accompanied them and he left them, falling a few meters and leaving the American in the center of the image. A few last meters of the 20th and penultimate stage where they applauded and pointed to the well-deserved surprise champion of 78th edition of the Vueltahe is pointed and applauded, to come together in an emotional and heartfelt applause, fixing all possible controversies and bad vibes that may arise.

Victory in the longest stage of the Vuelta was 208 kilometers and went to the Dutchman Wout Poels, who won the game against an angry man Remco Evenepoel who was a few meters away from achieving his fourth partial victory of the race. Behind them, a phenomenal Pelayo SanchezAsturian runner who had a great Vuelta and will leave the lilac colors of Burgos-BH to change them to blue Movistar team. A final five breakout in which the Catalan was also involved Marc Solerbut the outcome of the day was not very good for him, and the first thing was the Vilanova i la Geltrú is to congratulate Poels for achieving his second victory of the season, the second after the one achieved in Tour de France.

This was the longest stage and had up to ten minor passes (3rd) and 4,000 meters of elevation gain. A Comanche territory where many things can happen if one wants to. A mini World Cup of continuous ups and downs where an initial escape of 31 runners was formed, with margins of between six and twelve minutes, giving an idea of ​​the speed of the small ambition of a platoon controlled by Jumbo.

As the stage progressed and the climbs followed each other, the breakaway began to break down, and especially in the final two, Cruz Verde and San Lorenzo de El Escorial, with beautiful walls, the latter with sections of cobblestone with a classic Belgian aroma. Some impossible slopes faced by Evenepoel’s squires Cattaneo and Vervaeke in the first positions, remains rooted in the movement of Poles.

Poels, award for courage and persistence

The Dutch reached a few meters and they caught up with him Sánchez, Soler, Van Eetvelt and an Evenepoel who struggled to connect and shot to the post on the steep climb, with Poels again the first to attack, gaining a few meters that Remco couldn’t stop. Good win for him venray runnerwho like his team had a good Vuelta.

At this point, fans hope that some of the cyclists have options to do something in the general classification, such as Landa or More, and a little self-love goes a long way. But it is a mirage. Another day. Small flash and re-control of a jumbo, not forcing any movement suddenly dried up on another disappointing day.

Victory in the Vuelta for Sepp Kusswho would become the second American to win the Spanish round after Chris Horner in 2013, achieving the Jumbo-Visma win the big three with other riders and no Spanish presence in the picture of the final podium of Madridwhich has not happened since 2020.
