Vingegaard takes leader’s jersey in Tour de Pologne time trial
The first part of the 15-kilometer-long time trial featured a predominantly flat course. However, the second part was quite different, with mostly uphill terrain.
This suited Vingegaard perfectly. The Dane recorded the 13th fastest time at the first intermediate checkpoint but managed to make up time in the second, more challenging section. In the end, Vingegaard fell just short of the stage victory by a few seconds, but the two-time Tour de France winner still took the podium to receive the leader’s jersey after the time trial.
Wilco Kelderman also rode a commendable time trial, although the Dutchman suffered a crash during his effort against the clock. Kelderman recovered, ultimately finishing 11th, and is now second in the general classification, 24 seconds behind his teammate Vingegaard.
“I think I can be satisfied with my performance”
Jonas Vingegaard
“It was a very tough time trial,” Vingegaard analyzed afterwards. “Of course, I wanted to go for the win. It’s a shame I just missed it, but I think I can be satisfied with my performance. I’m very happy to be leading the general classification now. Hopefully, I can keep the jersey until the end of this Tour de Pologne. There are still some tough days ahead, with tomorrow’s stage and Saturday’s stage being the most challenging in my opinion. The differences in the general classification are still small, so we can expect a lot of attacks.”
