A reaction of a great champion. This is how to summarize Remco Evenepoel’s performance this Saturday. The day after his major failure, the Belgian champion won the 14th stage alone, at the end of a breakaway that he instigated and almost led from start to finish. Starting with Romain Bardet (DSM-firmenich) on the descent of the Hourcère 94km from the finish, the defending champion outdistanced the Frenchman on the final climb to score a second victory in this Vuelta, after the one acquired in Arinsal . He also took the opportunity to grab the polka dot jersey. Arriving more than 8 minutes behind the Belgian, the favorites were neutralized, despite the coup attempted by Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) in the Port of Larrau, 53km from the finish.
