Wout van Aert Cheeky Attack Surprises Marc Soler | Vuelta a Espana 2024 Stage 10
The Vuelta a España Stage 10 brought about an exciting day of racing after a well-deserved rest day for the riders. The stage was set in the north of Spain, where temperatures were cooler, providing a refreshing change for the peloton. With a medium mountain stage featuring a 9km climb at 6%, it was the perfect opportunity for climbers like McNulty and Woods to make their mark.
Heading into the stage, there was a palpable sense of anticipation as riders vied to get into the breakaway. Bora made a strong effort to get Floran Lipitz up the road, but Deceuninck-Quick-Step was having none of it. The breakaway eventually formed, with three riders managing to break free from the peloton. It was a hard-fought battle with several teams missing out on the break, including Israel Start-Up Nation and EF Education-Nippo.
As the breakaway gained time, the focus shifted to the dynamics within the group. Riders like Holman and Lerf cooperated well as they tackled the climbs, while others like Marx tried to feign weakness before showing their strength. Bora controlled the pace at the front of the peloton, but a crucial mistake from Mark Cair during a refueling moment allowed the breakaway to gain more time.
The pivotal moment of the stage came just 5km before the final climb when Soler and Vanard made a move. Soler, in his attempt to refuel, lost crucial time and ended up missing out on the stage victory. Vanard capitalized on the opportunity, working with Paser to secure his third consecutive stage win in the Vuelta.
The stage saw the GC contenders maintaining their positions, with EF pacing briefly but ultimately deciding not to push the pace. Ben O’Connor managed to hold onto his lead, with Deceuninck-Quick-Step looking solid throughout the stage. The day ended with Vanard taking the stage victory, solidifying his position as a versatile sprinter in the race.
Reflecting on his performance, Vanard expressed his satisfaction with the stage win, highlighting the importance of having fresh legs in the final sprint. Looking ahead to the next stage, he acknowledged the potential for attacks on the 3km 9% climb, hinting at an exciting day of racing to come.
Overall, Stage 10 of the Vuelta a España was a thrilling day of racing, with a well-contested breakaway and an impressive display of teamwork and strategy. The stage proved to be a test of endurance and tactical acumen for the riders, setting the stage for more exciting battles in the days to come.
