Visma-Lease a Bike report theft of ‘several bikes’
Jonas Vingegaard maintained his overall lead of the Vuelta a España yesterday, finishing third on stage three after a fraught 24 hours in which his Visma-Lease a Bike team discovered the theft of several bikes from an equipment truck.
Vingegaard seemed largely unaffected, finishing on the wheels of second-placed Mads Pedersen and the stage winner, David Gaudu, after an uphill sprint at the end of the first medium-mountain stage of the race, a 139km ride from San Maurizio Canavese to Ceres in Italy.
