Van Aert has achieved the victory on the Sprint and has won a group after 180.5 kilometers ahead of Mathias Vacek (Lidl – Trek) and Pau Miquel (Kern Pharma). If the Belgian even pulls a sprint, a herausragende nachführerarbeit von Kuss will be left behind in the final of the foreign entry of Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) with a gap. Ben O’Connor (Decathlon – AG2R – La Mondiale) ended up in the 33-man favorite group of Ziel and defended his goal.

Will the Sprinter come over the final Anstieg or not? The war is separated from the fragmentation of this Stage: Denn 32 Kilometers for the Soul were called as the last test of the Alto del 14 % (2. Kat.). If the pace of Red Bull – Bora – is high, the sprinter is fresh from the separation on the Tagessieg – one of the highlights in the favorite group.

Kaden Groves (Alpecin – Deceuninck) eliminates it himself, in dem er sich in a Verfolgergruppe and der Bergwertung and a hinterland of Vordermannes who go up – and go to Boden. The Australian war will not stay on the radar for much longer, but it can no longer be that we lose it.

One of the highlights in the long time that the Stage Victory is out, when there is 20 kilometers before the Soul from the Favoritengruppe davonfuhr. But Kuss, Vuelta-Gesamtsieger in the previous year, led the Gruppe with viel Arbeit with three kilometers more kilometers than the Spaniard. After the Teufelslappen had received a letter from Antritt von Pavel Sivakov (UAE Team Emirates), the soft drink of Aert said relatively problems during the second stage during the einfuhr of the Vuelta.

“We always have this stage for Wout in the back. Once it is like that, then it is time to play with the pace. It is a small group and a small group that still has no idea whether it is a good day. Ich habe verwacht, alles zusammenzuhalten. It is a war at the Leidensfestijn. It seems that a victory is my own business“, as Kiss after the stage at Eurosport. In the rankings Kiss is currently ranked 15 (+6:01 minutes).

With a hole in the rear wheel

Team colleague van Aert said in the Sieger interview: “I figured out that it’s a big group working together to get to the heart of the race. If it’s good that you have a good heart for running, then I didn’t think it was the case that the races would work in these Weise exploding animals. Sepp has done a fantastic job. A lot of people don’t realize what it is, with a 60 kilo amount in the shell, so you can eat it. I found a way to explore the back country and the wool and then finish it. That’s a really big Sieg for me.”

Zwischenzeitlich hatte van Aert im Finale auch self-angegriffen and the like the Verfolgung von Soler gemacht, die these Unterfangen aber schnell wieder aufgegeben. “I thought, maybe I would like to have a better job, but I will be happy with it, so that I can continue with it. I would rather take the risk and not end up with it. Therefore, I would like to have a better job with a fantastic job.” so der Vlam, met de Sieg seinen Vorsprung in de Punktewertung op 41 Punkte voor Groves ausbaute.

In the Gesamtwertung bleibt O’Connor en der Spitze. It takes 4:45 minutes before Primoz Roglic (Red Bull – Bora – hansgrohe) is on the road and the broadcast is safe. These are Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates, +4:59), Enric Mas (Movistar, +5:23) and Cristian Rodriguez (Arkea – B&B Hotels, +5:26).
