The Danish professional cyclist won the 162.8-kilometer section between the towns of Errenteria and Amasa-Villabona by two seconds over the Spaniards Mikel Landa and Enric Mas. In the overall standings, Vingegaard was five seconds ahead of second-placed Landa. The German professional cyclist Georg Zimmermann took third place in the mountain classification.
“It’s one of my favorite races,” said the 26-year-old Vingegaard after the day’s win on the Eurosport channel. He hopes to be able to stay in the leadership jersey from now on. “Even if I lose the jersey again, I will still fight for it,” stressed Vingegaard.
The day before, the Dutchman Ide Schelling from the Bora-hansgrohe team had won the day and temporarily taken the overall lead. The final stage of the tour climbs around the city of Eibar on Saturday.
