The South African (Praetorship30 years old), was the best of the 9 runners who got into the breakaway that day, attacked Les Praeres in the middle of the ascent and finally met the honey of victory in one of the big ones.
Lopez is confident
Miguel Angel ‘Superman’ Lopez rose to eighth place overall, is already part of the select group and hopes to stay ahpi.
“It was a pretty tough stage, a crash cut us off from the group, but in the end it was about trying to pick up the pace, it’s a pretty good climb, the numbers are good and I’m calm,” López said.
And I add: “More climbs are coming, we like them a little more.”
López did not have a good start in the Vuelta, but little by little he is recovering his level.
“I think it has been a tough stage compared to the other two mountain ones we have had, we have to think about resting,” the boyacense told Win Sports.
“For the moment we are going to recover from this pain in our legs and tomorrow we will have a well-deserved rest,” he said.
The key, as he says, is that there are three stages of ascent, but he hopes that the ones that he likes will arrive, the days with long and steep ascents.
