LIVE Vuelta: 6 leaders with Jimmy Janssens, control Trek and BikeExchange | Vuelta a Espana 2022

It would be a very cheap day for Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl thanks to this scenario. Fred Wright was the best in position: 21’57”. BikeExchange and Trek-Segafredo both lead the group.

In Cofidis, they can always count on the two Herrada brothers in the Vuelta. Jesus is now the general at the forefront of the race. In 2019 he won a stage at the Vuelta aray.

Samuel Battistella (23 years old) is the envoy of Astana. The Italian was normally participating in the tour, but was eliminated in Denmark due to the coronavirus. In 2019, he won the U-23 World Championship in Harrogate ahead of Stefan Bisiger, Tom Bidcock, Sergio Higuita, Andreas Kron and Tobias Voss.

After 51 kilometres, the difference continues to increase gently: 4’03”.

It should come as no surprise that Trek-Segafredo dispenses instructions in the packaging. Mads Pedersen spoke clearly at the beginning: “Yes, I finally want to win,” says the Dane, who has already finished second 3 times at the Vuelta aray. “The green shirt remains a goal.” Sam Bennett leads 9 points in this ranking.

The first clock ended with 46.1 kilometers on the clock. The peloton buildup has increased quite a bit on these rolling roads: 3’37”.

At Lotto-Soudal, they hope the trip will last until the end, because Harry Sweeney (24) showed his good form at the Tour de Ain. He became the second in the final stage. The 24-year-old Australian climber took a Tour victory last year: He finished third after Nils Polit and Emmanuel Erfite in Nimes.

Trek-Segafredo wants to give Mads Pedersen an extra boost and is also heading to the front. This is also necessary with overhangs up to 3’06”.

In the 2’40 rear, it’s somewhat surprising that BikeExchange has settled into the top of the group. Does Kaden Groves think this terrain is within his capabilities?

Fred Wright (23 years old) is undoubtedly one of the drivers at the front. The Briton finished seventh on the Tour of Flanders and also fascinated heavily on the Tour with, among other things, second place behind Mads Pedersen in Saint-Etienne. In this Vuelta he grabbed the red on Wednesday with third place.

Late singer Jimmy Janssens was allowed to drink a glass of Jay Vine’s victory yesterday. Our 33-year-old compatriot drove his first big run with the Giro last year and is now trying to keep the peloton at a distance with his five buddies.
