Jonas Vingegaard soloed to victory in the Vuelta a España stage 16 on Tuesday, Sept. 12, to climb to second overall, 29 seconds behind team-mate and race leader Sepp Kuss.
Team Jumbo-Visma's Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard rides after crossing the finish line in first place during the stage 16 of the 2023 La Vuelta cycling tour of Spain, a 120 km race between Liencres and Bejes on Tuesday, Sept. 12.
Danish star Vingegaard admitted on Monday's rest day he suffered severe stomach problems in the first few stages of the race and said he was glad to still be involved -- now he is firmly in contention for a third Grand Tour triumph. "I'm just happy to win today, we had some terrible news this morning, I wanted to win for my best friend," Vingegaard told Eurosport.
Vingegaard would not be drawn on whether he would wrestle the red jersey on Wednesday from Kuss, who usually takes an assisting role rather than the limelight.The peloton kept up a high speed on the wet run from Liencres beach to Bejes in Cantabria, a short 120.5 kilometers with a tricky category two climb finale.
