Euskaraz irakurri: Vingegaardek irabazi du Bejesen is 29 second in the jersey gorria; Sepp Kussek leader jarraitzen du

The Danish cyclist Jumbo-Visma Jonas Vingegaard ha cattle this Tuesday the sixteenth stage of the 2023 Vuelta a EspañaAt the port of Bejesand, in this way, it has been placed in second position in the general classificationsurpassing his partner Primoz Roglic and placing himself at 29 seconds behind the leader of the race, who continues to be the American runner, also from Jumbo-Visma, Sepp Kuss.

The ascent to the port of Bejes, 2nd category and unprecedented in the history of the Vuelta a España, has been spectacular. Vingegaard rushed forward when the strongest group had been climbing for around a kilometer, and entered the finish line one minute and five seconds before Kuss; With the ten bonus seconds that he has added, the winner of the 2022 and 2023 Tour de France is now less than half a minute from the lead, with very tough days still to come, like this Wednesday, at the Altu de L’ Angliru.

The stage, without mountainous difficulties until the climb to Bejes, with which it was going to conclude, has had a very lively rhythm throughout the day. The escape attempts have been happening without interruption, practically from the beginning; It was clear that the runners, after the day of rest, had returned to the road with their batteries charged and with maximum ambition.

So things are, Mattia Cattaneo (Soudal Quick-Step), Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Julius van den Berg (EF Education-EasyPost), Nicolas Prodhomme (AG2R Citroën), Max Poole (DSM-Firmenich) and Joel Nicolau (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) They had a minute and a half lead when the stage entered its last 30 kilometers. Jumbo-Visma was pulling the peloton, which seemed to have the leaders under control. Groves, winner of the intermediate sprint in Unquera, was the first to give in. The escape ended with ten kilometers left before the finish.

It is then the turn of the cyclists who fight for the general classification, and, among them, Jonas Vingegaard has been the best. His start was worthy of the victory he achieved at the finish line. Jumbo-Visma continues to lead the race, with three men in the first three places, but It is possible that what happened in Bejes changes the perspective of the Dutch teamsince Vingegaard seems to be getting better as the race goes on, while Kuss, despite showing an excellent level, has not given the impression of being so strong on this day.

Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) continues in seventh position overall, after reaching the finish line at the same time as Kuss. The Vuelta a España now foresees two key days in Asturias, with the legendary Altu from L’Angliru at the conclusion of Wednesday’s stage; a day for the greats.
