Danish Jonas Vingegaard (Visma), second of the general in the Virtual Return and Virtual Leader, confirmed on Monday, on the rest day, which is in a great moment of form, near the version of the Tour de France, and said that their rivals will have to assess whether they want to attack.
“It is very positive to have won a little time in the general, since it now places me in a really strong position. From now on it will depend on others if they want to attack me. I could also opt for more stage victories,” Vingegaard told TV 2 Sport.
For the double winner of the Tour of France and current runner -up of that race, the performance in Valdezcaray was an important step for his way to the achievement of the first red jaw of the winner of the Vuelta. Its form of form, he says, is close to his best version.
“I feel really good, at a great time. In the previous stage finals may not have the legs of Valdezcaray, so it is great to feel stronger as the race progresses. I am close to my version of the Tour de France,” he added.
The Danish already knows what it is to stand out in the return, but this time came to be champion. In the 2023 edition he was runner -up and at the same time a luxury gregarious for the American Sepp Kuss, who arrived in Madrid dressed in red, an objective that “Vingo” has between eyebrow and eyebrow.
In the present French round already has two stage victories. The first came in the second stage, in which it was imposed with a four -runner sprint. The second happened last Sunday when he escaped in the absence of 10 kilometers for the goal.
Vingegaard went from being 2:55 minutes from the leader, the Norwegian Torstein Træen (Bahrain-Victorous), to be only 37 seconds. The provisional podium of the race is completed by the Portuguese João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates), 1:15 from the red shirt.
With the rest day as a curtain, the return to Spain will return to action on Tuesday with a half-mountain day between Sendaviva and Larra-Belagua, 175.3 kilometers of extension and 3,082 meters of unevenness. The arrival, like this Sunday, will be on the rise.
