Race leader Remco Evenepoel reveals he’s still feeling ‘stiff muscles’ from Stage 12 crash at La Vuelta 2022
Remco Evenepoel has revealed he «still feels stiff muscles” from his crash on Stage 12 at La Vuelta and is “really happy” to have a rest day on Monday. Evenepoel, of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl, lost just 15 seconds to Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) on Sunday's queen stage of La Vuelta after a difficult day 24 hours earlier during which he had cracked on the climb into Sierra de la Pandera, with his injuries hampering his form. Ad He will now take a 1’34” lead going into the final week as he looks to hold off Roglic and Enric Mas (Movistar), who is 2’01” behind the Belgian.
