BREDA, Netherlands: Sam Bennett of Bora won stage three of the Vuelta a Espana on Sunday, as he was again fastest in a sprint at the end of an almost entirely flat 193.2km run around Breda.
Dan Lloyd believes the quieter periods during La Vuelta’s three days in the Netherlands could create a bigger “spectacle” later in the race. Prior to the final sprint finishes in both stages at the weekend, there was a lack of action due to a lack of wind which many felt was needed to spice up the racing in the middle of each stage. Ad Nearly all the general classification contenders are within 33 seconds of Primoz Roglic who is the leading rider of those expected to fight for the overall win.
On a day Utrecht became the first city in the world to have hosted the start of all three of cycling’s Grand Tours, the Dutch delight continued as veteran climber Robert Gesink led home the winning Jumbo-Visma team to take the first red jersey of the 77th edition of La Vuelta. Gesink, 36, finished with the triple champion Primoz Roglic right in his wheel as all eight riders from Jumbo-Visma completed the 23.3km course together to deny their nearest challengers Ineos Grenadiers by 13 seconds.
“I’m here, I’m ready.” That is the defiant message from Primoz Roglic as he prepares to take on the Vuelta a Espana in a bid to win his fourth successive red jersey. The 32-year-old has been out of action since sustaining a dislocated shoulder and back injury during Stage 5 of this year’s Tour de France, leading to him retiring nine stages later.
Welcome to La Vuelta! And a warm welcome back to the much-loved team time trial! Admittedly, the parcours is not the most exciting way to start a Grand Tour — a 23.3km run around Utrecht that breathes new life to the phrase «pan-flat». Then again, we're in sea level-loving Netherlands for the opening three stages, so we can't be too disappointed about the lack of climbing. Ad But the team time trial is all about the unexpected.
UTRECHT: Cycling’s Vuelta a Espana embarks Friday with defending champion Primoz Roglic chasing an unprecedented fourth straight victory over a mountainous 3,280km route that begins, however, on the flatlands of the Netherlands.
