Race Recap
Pedersen wins stage 13
Mads Pedersen (TFS) took the 13th stage of the Vuelta a Espana in commanding fashion today in the uphill finish in Montilla. The Danish sprinter overtook Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) and Pascal Ackermann (UAE Team Emirates) to win his first career win at the Spanish grand tour.
"It definitely was the dream scenario," Pedersen said. "We knew this finale was pretty good. The boys did really well today and everyone was focused the whole day. I’m just happy that I can finally get the win and give the boys back for all the work they’ve done so far. It’s really nice for all of us. Alex [Kirsch] delivered me in the last corner and there was still 800m to go. So it was perfect to have a good hard tempo. Pascal [Ackermann] jumped early. I jumped with him. It was a long long sprint. To follow Ackermann was a full sprint. So it was a 350m sprint today. We came here for a stage win. And now we have won. I will keep fighting to get one more. It’s super nice to have a comfortable lead in the points jersey but it would be nice to have Sam [Bennett] fighting for the jersey. We’ll keep fighting for stage wins and we will see how it goes."
Remco Evenepoel (QST) is still leading the overall race by 2:41 ahead of Primož Roglič (TJV). Enric Mas (MOV) is third at 3:03.
