Fabio Aru fights to a brilliant 2nd place finish overall at Vuelta a Burgos

Hugh Carthy (EF Education Nippo) won the final stage of the Vuelta a Burgos but it was Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) that won the race overall, with Fabio Aru (Team Qhubeka NextHash) taking 2nd and Mark Padun (Bahrain-Victorious) finishing 3rd.
Team Qhubeka NextHash took to the start of the final Vuelta a Burgos stage without Domenico Pozzovivo and Sander Armee, this was after both riders crashed during yesterday’s stage. Armee is expected to make a rapid recovery from his injuries but Pozzovivo suffered a fracture of the knee.
It was heart-breaking to see Pozzovivo leave the race while in such excellent form and his Vuelta a Espana challenge now lost too, before it even began, but with Fabio Aru starting the final stage in 4th overall our South African team still had a lot to race for and our 4 remaining riders delivered in a big way.
The final 146km stage finished up the 12km climb to Lagunas de Neila, well-known for its brutal gradients over the last 3km to the line. An early break did animate the first part of the race, but it was always going to be caught on the climb and the stage & GC would be decided by the strongest climbers.

Reinardt Janse van Rensburg, Bert-Jan Lindeman and Dylan Sunderland did a fine job looking after Fabio Aru right up until about the 7km to go marker for Team Qhubeka NextHash. Team Bahrain Victorious then set the pace coming into the hardest part of the climb, and this put the race leader, Romain Bardet (Team DSM) into difficulty.
Aru was riding strong in the wheels of Bahrain though, as the group quickly whittled down to just the top 20 climbers in the race. Padun was the first of the GC men to make a move, but Ineos Grenadiers gave chase with Egan Bernal and Pavel Sivakov.
Riders were aptly greeted with a „Welcome to Hell“ sign painted on the road as they began the final steep 3km stretch. From here it was very much, every man for himself. There were numerous attacks and surges in pace, but Aru rode an intelligent final climb with a top GC placing his goal. Always in the top 10 positions on the road, Aru fought all the way to the line, taking 8th place on the stage just 38 seconds after Carthy had won.
Aru’s brilliant performance ensured he climbed up to 2nd place overall, behind race winner Landa. A great result for Aru and also Team Qhubeka NextHash after a difficult last 24 hours for the team.

Fabio Aru
I am really sorry about the crashes over the last few days in our team. On the 2nd day Emil (Vinjebo) crashed and broke his collarbone, now he will miss the Vuelta. Yesterday also, Pozzo (Domenico Pozzovivo), he broke his knee, this is really terrible for us. Sander Armee also went home but we hope he can recover soon and Reinie (Janse van Rensburg) also crashed yesterday, so this has been very bad for our team.
But today we still had four guys in the race, and I have to say thank you to Bert-Jan (Lindeman), Reinie and Dylan (Sunderland). They really helped me a lot all day and to arrive in the climb in the first positions. Even though Reinie crashed yesterday he was still so strong today. So, in the end I am really happy about the result we could achieve.
When we made the decision to skip the Tour de France, and changed my calendar, I went to Lugano and Sibiu Tour and I was able to find a good feeling on the bike again. I could start attacking again, I could race the race, and I was able to fight in the race. I missed this feeling so much in the last three years and this was really hard for me.
So, these last few results, also with 2nd in GC at Vuelta a Burgos against very good riders, this gives me a very good feeling and I am so happy about it. Now I will have some easy days with the family and be ready for the next goals.

Pozzovivo takes 2nd on Burgos stage 3 – Aru also impresses as Italian duo climb up the GC

Romain Bardet (Team DSM) won stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos, crossing the line solo, with Domenico Pozzovivo (Team Qhubeka NextHash) leading the chase group home and taking 2nd, Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) was 3rd.

Stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos presented the first real test to the GC contenders as riders had to take on the well-known Picon Blanco climb. The complete stage covered 173km, with Picon Blanco peaking at just 18km to go, followed by a technical descent to the line.
An early break did go clear in the opening kilometers of the stage, but the peloton had no problem controlling the gap, ensuring the escapees would be caught on the climb.

Ineos-Grenadiers and EF-Education took up the pace setting on the lower slopes of the climb, but it was an acceleration from Fabio Aru that really put the pressure on, resulting in the main group thinning out. Giro d’Italia winner, Egan Bernal (Ineos-Grenadiers) then tried to control the pace for their protected rider, Pavel Sivakov, but new attacks soon followed.
Aru and Pozzovivo rode well in tandem, following the moves until just 11 riders remained in contention at 3km to go from the summit of the climb. It became quite tactical over the final uphill kilometers but it was Bardet who put in a telling attack just before the summit and got a 15″ gap.
Pozzovivo formed part of the first chase group with three other riders, Landa (Bahrain-Victorious), Nieve (Bike-Exchange) and Bouchard (AG2R Citroen), as the descent began. Aru followed a few seconds behind in the 2nd chase group.
Bardet went downhill like a rocket and extended his lead to 35″ over the Pozzovivo chase group. There was a big scare for Pozzovivo though as Bouchard crashed in front of him in one of the many corners, but our Italian managed to stay upright and resumed the chase.
Bardet also slid out right near the bottom of the descent but hardly lost any time with an impressive and rapid remount. The Frenchman held his gap to the line, taking a very good stage win. Pozzovivo led the now 3-rider chase group home, to take 2nd place on the stage.
Aru would finish in the next group of chasers, just 11″ behind the Pozzovivo group, and sprinted to 7th place on the stage. The strong rides from our Italian duo saw Pozzovivo climb to 3rd place on the overall GC with Aru moving up to 4th.

Domenico Pozzovivo
„Today was a stage that suited me better than the first two windy stages. On the last climb we did some great work, together with Fabio, it was just Bardet that got a jump on Landa and me at the top and we know that he is very strong on the downhill. I tried to avoid taking too many risks on the downhill. Me, Landa and Nieve tried to come back on Bardet but he was very strong, even on the flat sections. Finally, I was happy to come in 2nd with a good sprint because that is not my best skill. We look forward now with confidence in our shape for the final mountain stage and also to the Vuelta a Espana.“

Felix Großschartner gewinnt nach starker Attacke die Auftaktetappe der Vuelta a Burgos

Hügeliges Terrain, starker Wind und ein schwieriges Finale mit einem steilen Anstieg auf dem letzten Kilometer – die heutige Auftaktetappe der Vuelta a Burgos 2020 war alles andere als ein einfacher Start in das fünftägige Etappenrennen im Norden Spaniens. Nach einem verhältnismäßig ruhigen Beginn dominierte eine vierköpfige Ausreißergruppe weite Teile der 157 Kilometer langen Etappe. Als der Wind in der zweiten Tageshälfte merklich auffrischte, reagierte das Peloton jedoch und reduzierte den zwischenzeitlich auf bis zu vier Minuten angewachsenen Vorsprung rasch. Mehrere Stürze sorgten für zusätzliche Nervosität im Feld, mit Rafal Majka war leider auch ein Fahrer aus den Reihen von BORA-hansgrohe betroffen. Er konnte seine Fahrt nach seinem Fall 53 Kilometer vor dem Ziel allerdings fortsetzen. Nachdem die Ausreißer gestellt wurden, brachte BORA-hansgrohe auf den letzten Kilometern Jay McCarthy in Position. Am Ende war es allerdings Felix Großschartner, der mit einer unwiderstehlichen Attacke das gesamte Peloton überraschte. Der Österreicher setzte sich am Schlussanstieg zum Mirador del Castillo schnell von den anderen Favoriten ab und holte mit acht Sekunden Vorsprung einen überragenden Auftaktsieg. Jay McCarthy komplettierte das perfekte Teamergebnis mit einem achten Platz.

Reaktionen im Ziel
„Ich freue mich riesig über diesen Sieg. Wir haben das Finale bereits gestern während des Trainings inspiziert, daher wusste ich schon vor dem Etappenstart, dass es ein guter Tag für mich werden könnte. Das Team hat mich dann auf den letzten Kilometern in eine perfekte Position gebracht. Als die anderen Fahrer für einen kurzen Moment das Tempo herausnahmen, habe ich nicht gezögert, sondern direkt attackiert und durchgezogen. Von da an habe ich alles auf eine Karte gesetzt. Glücklicherweise hat mich niemand mehr eingeholt und ich konnte die Ziellinie sogar mit einigen Sekunden Vorsprung überqueren.“ – Felix Großschartner

„Während unseres heutigen Teammeetings habe ich den Jungs gesagt, dass wir durchziehen müssen, wenn wir eine Chance auf dem letzten Kilometer bekommen. Unser eigentlicher Plan war, für Jay McCarthy zu fahren, dem solche Zielankünfte ja liegen. Zudem wollten wir mit Felix Großschartner, Lennard Kämna und Rafal Majka keine Zeit in der Gesamtwertung verlieren. Auf dem letzten Kilometer war Felix schließlich in einer sehr guten Position und hat seine Chance genutzt. Er hat wirklich einen fantastischen Job gemacht und wir sind sehr glücklich über seine Leistung. Auch Jay hat seine gute Form mit Platz acht unter Beweis gestellt. Morgen ist nun ein Tag für die Sprinter, danach geht es wieder in die Berge. Wir werden versuchen, das Leadertrikot so lange wie möglich zu verteidigen.“ – Steffen Radochla, Sportlicher Leiter
