Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers): “I am very happy. I was sprinting at full speed to not get dropped when I heard that Jakobsen had won and I think it's very good because he is an example of not giving up. Chapeau. The whole squad has great respect for him for what he has done. In the last kilometres, the wind came from the side and although it was not strong enough to break the group, it went fast. We hadn't planned on trying anything, but we were warned that we had to be vigilant and well positioned. I think that the time that Yates and Carapaz have lost is not very much because it is La Vuelta, we are at the end of the season, and anything can happen, the route is quite hard and it is very hot, which causes me fatigue.”
