"We'll see how it goes, and we'll fight for the jersey” - Marc Soler & Jay Vine set for UAE Team Emirates civil war as race for polka-dots at La Vuelta 2024 concludes

With just two stages to go at the 2024 Vuelta a Espana, the fight for the polka-dot jersey and the title of King of the Mountains looks set for a two-horse race between UAE Team Emirates duo Marc Soler and Jay Vine.
“We rode easy. In the end, we wanted to put a man in the breakaway just in case there was a chance that he could make it, but Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe controlled it," reflected the classification leader Soler in his post-stage 19 interview, won by Primoz Roglic, with the Slovenian gaining a potentially decisive advantage in the fight for the Red Jersey.
Going into the final mountain stage, Soler sits atop the King of the Mountains classification with 57, whilst Vine is just one point behind on 56. As something of an inadvertent bonus to Soler's polka-dot hopes, Vine actually suffered a crash on stage 19, spending considerable time at the medical car afterwards, although the Aussie did eventually finish the stage.
"Now we have to think about tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow is an important day both for me and Jay Vine. Let's see how he is after today's crash," concludes the Spaniard. "We'll see how it goes, and we'll fight for the jersey.”

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
