Can Wout win la Vuelta?
Yesterday Wout van Aert, one of my favourite world tour riders, finally won – and won big, because it was stage 3 of la Vuelta. After the difficult start of the season, crash and injuries, he finally made it back to the top.
This solidified his lead in the red jersey, worn by the leader of the GC. But can he keep it? It's going to be a tough one, as he has a field full of great climbers that could potentially best him, including Sepp Kuss (winner of last year's Vuelta), Primoz Roglic, Adam Yates, Joao Almeida, to name just the top favourites.
What's more, if Adam or Joao manage to win the GC, it will mean that UAE will repeat what Visma did last year, namely – win all 3 Grand Tours in one season. I'm sure it will add a bit of motivation on the harder days.
Unfortunately, while I love Wout and his work, it's not very likely that he'll be able to keep the red jersey. He's just not that great of a climber, compared to Sepp Kuss and the rest. So it's likely that today's stage 4 will see a GC reshuffle. And the battle begins.
