As at the top of the Tourmalet (13th stage), the Dane Jonas Vingegaard won during the 15th stage in Bejes, this Tuesday. The Dane took advantage of this to get closer in the general classification (0’29” behind his American teammate Sepp Kuss) and scold another teammate, the Slovenian Primoz Roglic (3rd at 1’33”).
Epilogue of a moving day, since the Jumbo-Visma team had learned of the traffic accident suffered by the Belgian Nathan Van Hooydonck in Belgium (the team has since given reassuring news of its rider “Nathan is awake and does not suffer any injuries from the road accident that occurred earlier today. His state of health is not critical”).
But the success of Vingegard made people cringe. Lora Roglic, Primoz’s wife, bitter about the scenario, “liked” the comments of a group of her husband’s supporters on Instagram, as reported by Eurosport Spain: “It is impossible to defend Vingegaard or to accept Jumbo’s tactics is unacceptable, and I want to defend my idol Roglic but also Kuss, because even if after the scene I see smiles, I cannot understand them. » An inch that could sow discord within the Jumbo-Visma team.
