The Slovenian cyclist Jumbo-Visma Primoz Roglic ha cattle this wednesday seventeenth stage of the 2023 Vuelta a Españain it mythical and very tough Angliruahead of his partner Jonas Vingegaardwith whom he has reached the finish line, and also the Jumbo cyclist Sepp Kussleader of the classification, who has lost 19 seconds on this day and, consequently, has managed to keep the red jerseywith eight seconds ahead of Vingegaard. The day has brought a new display from Jumbo-Visma, which completely dominates the general classification, and also a excellent performance by Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious)which has entered roomat the same time as Kuss, and has risen to fifth place in the general classification.
There was, as planned, a great show on Wednesday’s stage. The route prepared by the organization included, in addition to Angliru, which is a special category, two other 1st category ports: La Colladiella and Cordal. The fans expected a day for the giants of the event, and the truth is that it has been: the three Jumbo cyclists, Sepp Kuss, Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic, have only found resistance in Mikel Landa’s Bahrain, who The Alava runner himself has captained.
That three cyclists as strong as those who occupy the first three places in the general classification are on the same team can even lead to the sports management of that team having problems planning the race strategy. In the Angliru, Primoz Roglic has been the one of the three who has seemed to show the most ambition; Vingegaard has remained with his companions at all times, without accelerating; Kuss held on until there were two kilometers left of the climb, and, once he gave way to Roglic and Vingegaard, he was able to maintain a good climbing pace, together with Mikel Landa. There are still two mountain stages left, this Thursday and Saturday, and Jumbo-Visma certainly has it in its hand, but it is not clear which of its three leaders is going to don the last red jersey of the Vuelta a España in 2023.
There is also another runner who is helping to make the race more interesting. Remco Evenepoel He has sought escape from the beginning. The Belgian, since he lost all his chances of final victory, has not stopped trying, and is showing outstanding ambition and fighting spirit. Your partner Mattia CattaneoIn addition, he has done a great job, on this Wednesday, so that the leader of the Soudal Quick-Step can finish, or at least try to.
Evenepoel has begun the ascent to Angliru alone, at the head of the race, but with a lead that is too small to qualify for victory at the finish line. Bahrain has been the main culprit for that, for not being able to fight to win. The Bahraini team, with Wout Poels and Santiago Buitrago helping Mikel Landa to the limit of their strength, has managed to remove all the riders from the group of favorites, except Kuss, Vingegaard and Roglic. In the middle of the climb to the Asturian colossus, the race was led by a sextet: three from Bahrain, and three from Jumbo. The others, Enric Mas, Juan Ayuso, Joao Almeida, Marc Soler, Aleksandr Vlasov, Cian Uijtdebroeks, have not been able to stay with the first.
