Basque irakurri: Remco Evenepoel woke up from Larra-Belaguan, this irabazi stage; Kussek leader jarraitzen du

The Belgian cyclist of the team Soudal Quick-Step Remco Evenepoel ha cattle this saturday fourteenth stage of the 2023 Vuelta a Españain Larra-Belagualeaving behind the team’s French rider on the last climb DSM Romain Bardet, with whom he has been escaping since shortly before reaching the Hourcére, almost 100 kilometers from the finish. In parallel, the American Jumbo-Visma Sepp Kuss continues in the first place in the general classification of the race and continues with the leader’s red jersey, after a tough stage that was held, for the most part, in Euskal Herria, and in which Jonathan Castroviejo (INEOS Grenadiers) He was fourth, after having a remarkable career.

The stage promised a lot of fight among the first in the general classification, given that it presented a very demanding route, with fourth climbs, two of them in a special category (Hourcére and Iturzaeta). The truth is that there have been no changes in the leading positions of the Vuelta a España, but there has been a lot of battle on the road, in the midst of the spectacular atmosphere created by thousands of Basque fans. The day has responded to what was expected, and the fans have enjoyed, once again, a great day of cycling.

After losing 27 minutes on Friday at the Tourmalet, Remco Evenepoel, winner of the 2022 Vuelta a España and world time trial champion in August, announced in the morning, in Sauveterre-de-Béarn, that he was going to implement “a new way of running.” Said and done: the leader of Soudal has looked for a breakaway from the start, he has gotten into a large group, in which Castroviejo was also present, and he has helped the gap with respect to the peloton to grow, he has left ahead, with Bardet, when they had not yet reached the top of the first pass of the stage, and, finally, in Larra-Belagua, he managed to separate himself from the Frenchman, before raising his arms excitedly at the finish line. Evenepoel has been spectacular, and has given a lesson in how to overcome an adverse situation, if you have the strength and legs to do so.
