Remco Evenepoel has won his third stage at the Vuelta a España 2023. He got into the breakaway of the day that soon caught 10 minutes with the peloton and went forward on the first of the climbs to the Cruz de Linares.

In addition to the stage victory, the Belgian from Soudal Quick-Step has consolidated his lead in the King of the Mountains classification. Despite his failure in the overall, Remco believes he is having a great Vuelta a España:

"The message was for my wife, if I took a third stage I was going to dedicate it to her. I thought I was the strongest in the group and I wanted to go from far away for the victory, I felt very good legs, almost like in stage 15 and it was a great opportunity to win and to consolidate the mountain jersey, nice way to finish. Yes, to get that situation is a good result, the plan for the overall didn't work, but I had a good feeling and good legs and I kept fighting to be protagonist of the race."
