Stage 6 of the 2023 Vuelta a Espana has a challenging finale atop the Pico del Buitre. Jumbo-Vimsa though enter it full of confidence, despite the fact it's Soudal - Quick-Step's Remco Evenepoel who holds the Red Jersey.
“The goal for the fifth stage was to get to the finish unscathed. We succeeded," recaps Jumbo-Vimsa's sports director Grischa Niermann in a post-stage interview with his team's official website. "We got through the day just fine. Wilco felt fine after yesterday's crash. That is a nice boost.”

Ahead of stage 6 however, Niermann realises the day will be more of a challenge for the general classification teams and whilst it's unlikely to be a truly decisive day in terms of the overall race, time gaps could very well emerge among the leaders.

“Tomorrow will be another test for our men. Of course we already had a tough stage two days ago," he previews. "The final climb will be very tough. Fortunately, this is familiar territory for Primoz, who already finished sixth in 2019."
