Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) wins a second stage in a row and consolidates her leader’s jersey

Imperial Marianne Vos. Leader of the general cl***ification of the female Vuelta and already winner the day before at La Roda, the Dutchwoman won easily in the sprint, this Thursday, during the 4th stage between Cuenca and Guadalajara. The Red Jersey beat Emma Norsgaard (Movistar) and Marlen Reusser (SD Worx), who could never worry her in the last meters, after the Jumbo-Visma sprinter launched her effort 150 meters from the line .

Before that, Vos had to resist the attacks in a hilly final, in particular that of the German champion Liane Lippert 6 kilometers from the finish, joined by Demi Vollering. But the first stopped collaborating, so as not to “help” Vollering (SD Worx) for the overall, and the regrouping took place 2.5 kilometers from the finish.

Charlotte Kool gave up

With the abandonment, a little earlier in the day, of Charlotte Kool, the only one who beat her in the sprint for now, Vos was then in an ideal position to win, which she managed without flinching. She consolidates her red leader’s jersey in front of the American Chloe Dygert, still second but now 25 seconds behind.
