Danish Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | Lease Bike) became Wednesday the new leader of the general classification of the Tour of Spain 2025, assuming the red shirt after an exciting counterreloj by teams. It accumulates 16 hours, 11 minutes and 24 seconds of pedaling in five days of competition.
Vingegaard, who comes from being runner -up in the most recent edition of the Tour de France, is the main favorite to keep the title. He reconfirmed his aspirations in the fifth stage of the Spanish Round, which was played in Figueres and concluded with Victoria of the UAE Team Emirates.
The tight general classification of the podium is completed by two cyclists of the UAE, the Spanish Juan Ayuso and the Portuguese João Almeida, both only eight seconds from Vingegaard. One of the great victims of the stage was the Frenchman David Gaudu (Groupama), who could not defend his leadership and is now sixth place, 16 seconds from the Danish.
In the Top 20 of the general, Colombian cyclists continue to battle. The Cundinamarqués Egan Bernal (INEOS), despite getting off the fourth to the tenth place, remains the best Latin American, 22 seconds from the leader. For its part, Bogota Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain) is 14 °, 39 seconds.
The return to Spain 2025 will continue this Thursday with the first stage of high mountain. The 170.3 kilometers route between Olot and Pal, in Andorra, promises to be a real challenge for climbers, with a 3,475 meter unevenness that could rearrange positions in the general classification.
