Defending champion Remco Evenepoel delivered a perfectly-timed sprint to take victory in stage three of the Vuelta a Espana on Monday, beating Jonas Vingegaard and Juan Ayuso to the finish line as he also claimed the leader's red jersey.
Soudal–Quick-Step rider Evenepoel launched his effort some 300 metres from the line, leaving Vingegaard and Ayuso in his wake to claim his first stage win of the 2023 edition. "I felt super good on the final climb with a long but very strong sprint so I'm super happy with this stage win," Evenepoel said.
There was a significant shake-up in the overall standings following stage three, with overnight leader Andrea Piccolo relinquishing his advantage after being left behind by the peloton.
