Jonas Vingegaard and his teammates crushed their rivals in the Spanish Vuelta’s 13th stage on Friday when the two-time Tour de France champion led a 1-2-3 finish for Jumbo-Visma atop the legendary Col du Tourmalet.
Vingegaard won the stage that started in Spain and crossed over into the French Pyrenees after he broke away on the final climb of the summit that is known as a classic finish in the Tour — a race which the Danish rider has won the last two years.
Sepp Kuss and Primoz Roglic, Vingegaard’s teammates, also pulled away from the last riders who tried to match their pace and completed the impressive display by the Dutch outfit.
Kuss, who is the first American rider to lead a Grand Tour since 2013, kept the red leader’s jersey. Roglic, who won three straight Vuelta editions from 2019-2021, was third.
