(Miguel 'Supermán' López: the data with which he surpasses Nairo Quintana, video) (Rigoberto Urán: the impressive statistics that are difficult to knock down) He toasted, took photos, celebrated with his Quick-Step teammates, before entering the streets of Madrid, where the lot got serious. There were several escape attempts, but they were unsuccessful. They did let some go, but not to much of an advantage. Remco Brands Evenepoel won Lap 22 and it is not just any victory. At 22 years, 7 months and 17 days old, the Belgian is about to become: 1. The youngest winner of La Vuelta since Angelino Soler, in 1961, and the fourth youngest winner in the history of the race, which started in 1935. In fact, only the first winner Gustaf Deloor and the Belgian Frans De Mulder ( 1960) were younger than Evenepoel at their victory. 2. The first Belgian to win a Grand Tour since Johan De Muynck, at the 1978 Giro, and the first Belgian to win La Vuelta since Freddy Maertens in 1977. 3. The 18th Belgian rider to win a Grand Tour (for a total of 33 wins). 4. The first Grand Tour winner in the history of the Quick-Step team. 5. The first rider to win the Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Clásica de San Sebastián and La Vuelta in the same year. Enric Mas was second, Juan Ayuso finished third and the best Colombian was Miguel Angel López, who placed fourth. The boyacense tried to finish on the podium, but it was impossible. The minutes lost in the first part of the competition did not give him that possibility. He is Miguel López's third top 5 in the Vuelta, after being third in 2018, fifth in 2019 and fourth this time. The occasion was ideal to say goodbye to two world cycling greats, who finished their last Vuelta: Alejandro Valverde and Vincenzo Nibali. Impressive about Miolano, he came to this Vuelta to help Pascal Ackermann win a stage, but the Colombian got that victory this Sunday, the first of a Colombian in a big one in the last stage to the packaging. Santiago Botero had the opportunity to obtain victory in the final part of the 2001 Vuelta, a 38 km time trial, the year in which Angel Casero was the champion. Tremendous was the packaging of Molano, which gives Colombia the 37th victory of the country's cycling in this competition and the first in its record in the World Tour. https://www.eltiempo.com/deportes/ciclismo/vuelta-a-espana-juan-sebastian-molano-gano-la-ultima-etapa-701598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
