La Vuelta: Jumbo-Visma 'come from another planet' says amazed Patrick Lefevere after team time trial victory
QuickStep-Alpha Vinyl boss Patrick Lefevere was left stunned by how dominant Jumbo-Visma proved to be in the Stage 1 team time trial at La Vuelta a Espana. The Dutch team beat Ineos Grenadiers to top spot on the timesheet by 13 seconds to stamp their authority on the third and final Grand Tour of the season in a significant way in front of jubilant fans in Utrecht. Ad In clinching victory they also found the time to show respect and appreciation for one of the team's unsung heroes in Gesink, who has dedicated his career to supporting his team-mates while receiving little individual glory.
