The 2024
Vuelta a Espana seems to be a foregone conclusion, as far as the general classification victory goes after stage 19. Barring disaster,
Primoz Roglic will add in Madrid on Sunday his fourth title after those achieved in 2019, 2020 and 2021, thanks in part to his dominant performance on the final climb to the Alto de Moncalvillo on stage 19.
Although more than Roglic's display, it was the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe that was in charge of dynamiting the general classification and blowing away
Enric Mas,
Ben O'Connor,
Richard Carapaz and the rest of the group of favourites with a move that earned the praise of
Alberto Contador. Speaking to the microphones of
Eurosport, the legend of Spanish cycling surrenders to the performance of Red Bull - BORA in Moncalvillo: "I think that today is an exhibition of Roglic, but also of Red Bull. Different riders have told me that at the watts they were riding at, they didn't even think about going out. Above 500 watts, riders who are very light in weight. We're talking about enormous power," says Contador.
