JONAS VINGEGAARD: I HAD TO FIGHT FOR EVERY WATT
The illness started after stage 9, so already on the rest day I was feeling a bit sick in the throat and in the nose, and it just kept being there for so long. I feel like it really affected me because before I was really on my best level and I could just see that I had to fight for every watt. To come back like this I’m super happy. It means a lot, it’s the first Vuelta for me, and the first Grand Tour for me in two years. To come back from everything that I’ve went through in the last few years is really nice for me and nice that I’m here, and I can show that I’m on a really high level. I will remember the fight I’ve had with Joao. He’s a super strong rider and he showed it here. He really put me on the limit sometimes and it’s been a really nice fight. I enjoyed it.
