The wearer of the red jersey continues: “To be in the mix for the stage win two days in a row is great. Not just for me, but for the whole team. It gives us extra motivation. We’re here with a strong team and one clear goal. It’s a pity that Axel wasn’t able to start today.”
Tomorrow’s stage features three long climbs and around 3,000 metres of elevation, but ends with a flat finale. For the first time in this year’s Vuelta a España, the finish will not be in Italy, but in France. “It’s hard to make a prediction for the fourth stage. It will depend on how the race unfolds, the breakaway of the day, and the sprinters’ teams. One thing is certain, I won’t be giving up my red jersey easily”, Vingegaard concludes.
