Louis Meintjes: "I'm very happy about my Vuelta. I have no regrets"

Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert rider Louis Meintjes finished the last mountain stage in the seventh position, 15 seconds behind stage winner Richard Carapaz.

“I have no regrets; I'm proud of the way I raced today,” said Meintjes. He is satisfied with his performance and has no qualms about his ranking. He gave his best in every stage and even secured victory in the ninth stage. “I gave the best of myself one last time. Because of the time gaps and the lack of collaboration from several riders in my group, the return of the favorites was unavoidable. But I'm very happy about my Vuelta and my stage victory on Les Praeres.
