Race Recap
Storer wins stage 7
Michael Storer (Team DSM) won on the Balcon de Alicante out of the breakaway toay on stage 7 of La Vuelta 21. The Australian out climbed Carlos Verona and Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers) to take the biggest win of his career after 153km of up and down racing.
Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) is back in the red jersey by a few seconds ahead of Felix Grossschartner (Bora-Hansgrohe).
“Why not [lose La Roja to Jan Polanc]? He already took the jersey in the Giro and we wore it both [in 2019]. Again, these are super sweet worries for the Slovenians. For me, it was a hard day, super hot, and we went already all out on the first climb. We saw quite some action today and we can expect the same in the next days with teams who have different contenders. But we saw our guys did a great job and we’ll do our best. I was just two guys behind [when Alejandro Valverde crashed]. I don’t know how he is. He’s one of the biggest names in cycling so hopefully he’ll be fine and he’ll soon be back.”
