On the line

“Another fast stage and a breakaway that took a long time to emerge. As a result, the start of the stage was very fast-paced. I hung on to the leaders as tightly as I could. I gave up a little in the final stage, which finished at the summit of Larra-Belagua. This Vuelta Ciclista a España offers very little respite. In any case, I’m going to continue to give it my all until Madrid”.

The debrief’

“Cristián had another outstanding race. He hung on to the red jersey pack for a long time, losing contact with the leaders of the Vuelta Ciclsita a España on the last climb of the day. He returns to the top fifteen overall, just ahead of Remco Evenepoël who put in a great performance today. Our two riders Kévin Vauquelin and Ledanois were in the breakaway with the Belgian Champion, but the climbers and the latter applied a high pace on the Hourcère pass that our two riders were unfortunately unable to follow”.
