Slocop Jonas Vingegaard puts the finishing touches on the Queen's Stage in Tirreno-Adriatico

Jonas Vengegaard once again put an exclamation mark behind his dominance of the Queen's Stage in Tirreno-Adriatico. The Dane from Visma-Lease a Bike needed one scorching acceleration to kill all rivals at Monte Petrano. Tomorrow, the race stage ends with a sprinter's chance in San Benedetto del Tronto.

Jonas Wenggaard won the Tirreno-Adriatico yesterday, so the question today was when the Dane would hit his target on the Queen's Stage.

The trip started off chaotically, with a strong ride eventually managing to depart. The group, including Julian Alaphilippe, Richard Carapaz, Michal Kwiatkowski, Andreas Lekensund and Ben Healy, never got more than 2'30″ from the peloton.

Healy did a lot of work for Carapaz up front, but on the final climb it quickly became clear that wouldn't be enough for the attackers.

Bora-Hansgrohe had put in a huge effort in the lead-up to the final climb, so Jay Hindley took pole in the hope of keeping Juan Ayuso from second.

Hindley took Ayuso and Vengegard with him, and then it was time for the latter to unleash his demons. One attack was enough for the Dane, and the rest was never seen again.

In the background, young Mexican Isaac del Toro was particularly impressive, rising to fourth place. Cian Uijtdebroeks held up well and retained seventh place in the general classification.

There were no big surprises in the interview with Jonas Vingegaard: “Were you eager for another win? I just love winning. The team worked hard all day, so it's good to be able to reward them. Two stage wins, that's great for us.” we.”

Visma-Lease a Bike was less dominant than yesterday: “Bora-Hansgrohe set a very high pace on the last climb, although that was also beneficial for us. When Jay Hindley went, I followed well and then chose my moment. Then came Cannes Just a time trial until the end.”

“I'm in better shape than last year and the year before that. I'm very satisfied with how everything is going now, it's been a great week. Now that we've managed to get through the final stage well, we can then celebrate,” he said. Danish. .
