'I felt a lot better than on the previous mountain stages' – Jonas Vingegaard back in full flight for 40th career victory at Vuelta a España despite mistimed attack

ALFARO, SPAIN - AUGUST 31: Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark and Team Visma | Lease a Bike competes in the breakaway during the La Vuelta - 80th Tour of Spain 2025, Stage 9 a 195.5km stage from Alfaro to Estacion de Esqui de Valdezcaray 1541m / #UCIWT / on August 31, 2025 in Alfaro, Spain.

One of the main question marks during the first week of the Vuelta a España has been Visma-Lease a Bike's lack of aggression on the mountain days, letting the breaks go on stages 6 and 7, and Jonas Vingegaard riding purely defensively, instead of his usual attacking style.

But the Dane confirmed after his second victory of the 2025 race and Visma's stunning lead-out that launched him to eventually arrive solo up to Valdezcaray that it was, in fact, his legs that were the issue, and that with a great feeling returning on stage 9, he couldn't help but attack.
