Remco Evenepoel chose to fearlessly attack in the seventeenth stage. At the foot of the penultimate climb, the Belgian was already alone and the peloton was getting closer. The classification men were allowed to decide who would win the stage.
"It is very strong, of course, but I haven't seen much of it," the mountain jersey leader wearer tells VTM News. "Jumbo-Visma is the only team that deserves to win this Vuelta. It doesn't matter who, but it would be very nice if it were with Kuss. Then they won a Grand Tour with three different riders this year. In any case, it will be very exciting between those three."
