- Matthew Brennan won his third mass sprint of the Vuelta during the 11th stage in Lorca.
- Wout van Aert celebrated Brennan’s victory, said he had enjoyed the day, and retained the green points jersey.
Wout van Aert was laughing contagiously at the finish of the Vuelta’s 11th stage in the historic city of Lorca. He embraced every rider from the Visma team, not because he had won, but because his young teammate Matthew Brennan had controlled a mass sprint for the third time.
“Wonderful day. I really enjoyed it,” Van Aert said. He then went to the podium to collect the green jersey once again as leader of the points classification.
Brennan’s repeated sprint victories have become the reason for Van Aert’s celebration, with the veteran champion watching his young teammate achieve what the article describes as something none of the sport’s stars does.
Wonderful day. I really enjoyed it.
