Vuelta: a Pure Class Performance from Pogačar as he Earns his Second Stage Win

UAE Team Emirates (United Arab Emirates) - Press Release: The Slovenian rider is the new white jersey and he's 3rd in the GC.

UAE Team Emirates’ Tadej Pogačar put on another display of sheer brilliance during stage 13 of La Vuelta, and in doing so took his second stage win in just five days.

The unbelievable result also launched the 20-year-old star into third place in the white jersey, as he sits now +17″ on Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana) at the top of the Youth Classification.

The day didn’t start out well for the Emirati formation, with news that Fabio Aru would retire from La Vuelta.
However, all that was forgotten as the stage reached the business end and a select group of 29 GC riders hit the bottom of Los Machucos – the seventh categorized climb of the afternoon. With 6.5km of constant climbing – and sections featuring brutal gradients in excess of 25% – it was always going to be a true test of the strongest riders in the bunch.

Stage 13 results:

  1. Tadej Pogačar (Slo) UAE Team Emirates 4h28’26”
  2. Primoz Roglic (Slo) Jumbo-Visma s.t.
  3. Pierre Latour (Fra) Ag2R La Mondiale 27″

 

General classification after stage 13:

  1. Primoz Roglic (Slo) Jumbo-Visma 49h20’28”
  2. Alejandro Valverde (Esp) Movistar 2’25”
  3. Tadej Pogačar (Slo) UAE Team Emirates 3’01”
