The Belgian Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike), the leader of the Vuelta a España points classification, regretted the mechanical problems that forced him to lose 9 minutes to Cazorla’s goalwhich forced him to undertake “an absurd chase.”
“My position in the peloton is goodbut my chain jumped after one turn and I couldn’t get it back on the bike, so I had to stop for a while,” explained the two-stage winner.
A problem at the worst possible moment caused the Visma runner to lose time, who was also unable to help his team in the final battle.
“It was not a good moment, because I found myself at the back of the pack during which many runners began to stay. “It has been an absurd chase, because in the end, I have lost a lot of energy and I have not been able to help the team,” he said.
