Matteo Jorgenson has confirmed that the notably conservative stance taken by Visma-Lease a Bike on the major climbs of the Vuelta a España boils down to the team opting to take a 'classic' approach to Jonas Vingegaard's bid to become Denmark's first-ever winner of the Spanish Grand Tour.
Vingegaard did take an early stage win in an uphill dash for the line at Limone Piemonte, and finished third the following day at Ceres, and he has already twice held the lead in the Vuelta. But on neither occasion did Vingegaard need to deploy a full-scale assault by his team on the leader's jersey.
