Jasper Philipsen sprung to his third victory of this year’s Vuelta a España on Friday, winning a sprint finish in Guijuelo on stage 19.
The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider, who claimed the red jersey on the opening day, and later won stage eight, was guided to the closing uphill drag by his team-mates, where he kicked clear of his rivals.
“With this team we try to keep the winning flow going,” Philipsen said. “The guys are really experienced and they’re the best in this job. We’ll try to repeat it on Sunday [in Madrid], the final day. I’m really looking forward [to it] because it’s been a tough three weeks.”
