VUELTA. At the end of the 10th stage and a 30 kilometer time trial, it was the leader of this Vuelta, Remco Evenepoel who won.
[Mis à jour le 30 août 2022 à 17h30] There was a time trial for the riders on the program for this 10th stage of the Tour of Spain and the start of the 2nd week. For a very long time, it was the Frenchman, former French champion in the discipline and member of the Quick-Step Alpha VinylRémi Cavagna, who was in the lead at the finish from Alicante.
But what to do in the face of the Evenepoel UFO? Whereas Primoz Roglic set the fastest time with Cavagna and Sivakov in the first intermediate, the Belgian answered and even knocked out the competition from the first 10 kilometers with no less than 21 seconds ahead of the trio and 24 over Enric Mas, his runner-up, while a few drops were appearing on the road… At the second intermediate point, the defending champion, Primoz Roglic, remained up to Remi Cavagna at a small second while Remco Evenepoel… Inflicted 36 seconds on the Frenchman and 55 on Mas. In the end, the Belgian obviously won the time trial with 48 seconds ahead of Roglic, 2nd in the stage and 1’51 over Mas, but above all knocks out the Vuelta when we are only at the start of the 2nd week.
