The 2020 cycling season ended this today in Madrid with a fast and furious finish won by German sprinter Pascal Ackermann (BORA-hansgrohe) ahead of the Irishman Sam Bennett (Deceuninck-Quick Step). Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) survived the day to claim his second Vuelta overall victory. The riders can now celebrate their achievements after a unique year of racing and prepare for the 2021 season.
The 142-man peloton took it easy as they rolled out from Hipodromo de La Zarzuela, en route to Madrid. After three weeks of battling through Spain, it’s time for them to celebrate their accomplishments and the end of the season as they reach the capital city. Primoz Roglic and his Jumbo-Visma teammates took a moment at the front of the bunch as the Slovenian star was about to clinch his second overall victory in La Vuelta, a year after he became the first rider from his country to win a Grand Tour.
The pace increased as the riders entered Madrid, with about 40km to go. From then, the action never stops. Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal), one of the main protagonists of this edition with 2 stage wins, attacked with Jonathan Lastra (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) and Willie Smit (Burgos-BH). Lastra quickly dropped back to the peloton but his teammate Gonzalo Serrano, the only rider from Madrid participating in La Vuelta 20, joined the front group. Dmitriy Gruzdev (Astana) also bridged the gap.
Jasper Philispen’s UAE Team Emirates, Sam Bennett’s Deceuninck-Quick Step and Pascal Ackermann’s BORA-hansgrohe were the most active teams working to control the gap, always under 30s. The attackers were reeled in just ahead of the final lap, with 6km to go. BORA-hansgrohe lead the bunch into the final kilometre and Pascal Ackermann delivered, claiming victory millimetres ahead of Sam Bennett. Primoz Roglic finished with the peloton and wins La Vuelta 20.
Michael Woods (EF Pro Cycling) was top Canadian on the stage finishing 126th at 1:08 back and 34th on the final overall at 1:29:26.
