Jonas rode in the wind at the front all day and even still had the power to ride a good turn at the end. After that Ryan kept us in front so well, and then came the masterclass lead-out from Danny. It was really perfect teamwork. Honestly, it wasn&#8217;t that easy today because a lot of riders were fighting for our wheel, but I managed to hold on to Danny and launch my sprint at a good time. We also extended our lead in the points standings today. I can&#8217;t ask for more than that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sam Bennett took the 60<sup>th<\/sup> win of his career. Meanwhile, in the GC, it\u2019s Edoardo Affini who wears the red jersey. He became the third Jumbo-Visma rider to do so in three stages. After the opening win in the team time trial, Jumbo-Visma chose Robert Gesink to wear the red in the second stage. Then it was Mike Teunissen and now it\u2019s Edoardo Affini. The top six riders are from the Jumbo-Visma team, so they can enjoy a bit of playing around with the lead for now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This says it all really. <\/p>\n<p>You cannot do this on your own.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BORAhansgrohe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BORAhansgrohe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3ziqutS8E2\">https:\/\/t.co\/3ziqutS8E2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sam Bennett (@Sammmy_Be) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sammmy_Be\/status\/1561405194084069376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I enjoyed today.

It is amazing that several team members get a taste of something great this way. We all deserve that; we worked very hard for it. It&#8217;s wonderful to see Edoardo experiencing the same joy Robert and I have been experiencing lately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s wonderful we can share moments like these,\u201d Affini <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamjumbovisma.com\/race-report\/news\/affini-new-leader-after-gesture-teammates-in-third-stage-vuelta-a-espana\/\">continued<\/a>. \u201cAs Dutch cyclists, being able to ride in the jersey these past two days was amazing for Robert and Mike. I think this is also really special. It is a leader&#8217;s jersey in a grand tour. Few riders experience it. I&#8217;m grateful my teammates gave me this jersey and will enjoy it like the other guys. Of course, we will not lose sight of our tasks\u201d, the Italian said.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Vuelta stage three results<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) \u2013 4:05:53<\/li>\n<li>Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo)<\/li>\n<li>Daniel McLay (Ark\u00e9a Samsic)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><strong>Vuelta general classification after stage three<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Edoardo Affini (Jumbo-Visma) \u2013 8:20:07<\/li>\n<li>Sam Oomen (Jumbo-Visma)<\/li>\n<li>Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma)<\/li>\n<li>Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma)<\/li>\n<li>Mike Teunissen (Jumbo-Visma)<\/li>\n<li>Robert Gesink (Jumbo-Visma)<\/li>\n<li>Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) + 13 seconds<\/li>\n<li>Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers)<\/li>\n<li>Carlos Rodr\u00edguez (Ineos Grenadiers)<\/li>\n<li>Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Irishman outsprinted Mads Pedersen and Dan McLay to continue his stint in the \u0160koda Green Jersey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":167,"featured_media":3336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"global-categories":[],"class_list":["post-3333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-the-latest"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
