I managed to win on a climb with so much tradition in Asturian and Spanish cycling, and I even had time to bump the hand of the fans on the last straight,” he recalls funny in AS about one of the most striking images of that edition.

Today, in another symbol such as the Lakes, the Colorado climber, who is ninth overall, recognizes that he can be the protagonist. “I have tried to go well classified because I can be useful if I get into a leak. It would be an interesting tactical move, although the first objective is to be with Roglic and help him when he needs it, “he says in very good Spanish, who practices with his girlfriend (she’s from Barcelona).

TThey have confidence in him in the Jumbo-Visma, which even Roglic has classified as a second asset for the Dutch team. “Option B? Yes, I can be, but Roglic almost never fails. At the moment, I feel very good in this Vuelta and I am getting stronger every day, so I see myself prepared for whatever the team needs.” Nor does he rule out fighting for a win, “although it will be difficult because all the favorites are going to look for their chance.” And it is that in the Jumbo nobody expects calm in Asturias. “I think there will be a battle in these two stages, all the rivals will play their cards to try to win La Vuelta, fight for the podium … we will see,” he admits.
