Jai Hindley determined to do his best in last three stages of Vuelta a Espana -"The final climb was incredibly hectic, It's not too bad, but hopefully I can try again"

It is unlikely that Jai Hindley will win the Vuelta a Espana, but he is determined to give it his all in every stage. In the eighteenth stage, he finished the in fourth position, 13 seconds after stage winner Remco Evenepoel.

Although he didn't make it to the podium, Hindley believes his efforts weren't wasted, “It's not too bad, but hopefully I can try again, as I'm feeling better and better day by day,” said Hindley. He continues, “Sergio, Matteo, and Danny did a good job all get into the large break. Meanwhile, back in the peloton, the rest of the guys looked after me very well.”

In the end, he found it difficult to challenge the riders ahead of him after the group split from the peloton. “On the penultimate climb, there was a really solid tempo and we went full gas over the top with a reduced GC group. The final climb was incredibly hectic but our riders who were in the break did a good job of supporting me when they fell back. From that point, I just tried to follow the GC guys and in the end I was fourth,” concluded Hindley. He holds 10th position in GC, 12 minutes and 3 seconds behind overall leader Remco Evenepoel.
