Frustrée et logiquement en colère la veille suite au fiasco du départ du chrono par équipes, l'équipe Visma | Lease a Bike a répondu de la meilleure des manières à cette polémique en remportant la 2e étape de La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es par l'intermédiaire de sa leader emblématique : Marianne Vos ! Grande favorite de cette première étape en ligne promise à un sprint massif, la Néerlandaise de 37 ans a pu compter sur une grosse performance collective de la formation batave pour venir décrocher en patronne sa 1ère victoire de la saison à Sant Boi de Llobregat, sa 256e en carrière. Parfaitement emmenée - notamment par une Pauline Ferrand-Prévot exemplaire - dans ce final piégeux et rendu glissant par une forte pluie, la triple championne du monde n'a ensuite fait qu'une bouchée de ses rivales dans la dernière ligne droite, s'imposant avec plusieurs vélos d'avance. "C'est vraiment bien de gagner, surtout quand toute l'équipe s'est investie comme elle l'a fait toute la saison", a-t-elle confié en interview d'après-course.

00:00.
00:07Ah, ha ha, ha ha.
00:10You're welcome.
00:15It's so good.
00:18Oh.
00:19Oh, it's so cute.
00:21Ah, it's so cute.
00:23It couldn't touch you.
00:26Aah.
00:28Marene Vos, after all the hard work during all the season, now you got the victory. How does it feel about it?
00:35Yeah, really good of course. Especially when all the team puts all the effort in.
00:42Not only in this race, but you say, actually all the season already.
00:48And then after what happened yesterday, we wanted to take that energy into today and we just all committed to it.
00:56And yeah, I'm very happy I could finish it up.
00:59It started to stay a bit quiet and then started to rain and we saw that all the riders were very careful in all the turns and in the downhill.
01:06How did you leave it within the bunch?
01:08Yeah, well the most important was indeed to stay in front and to stay safe.
01:14And of course you want all the riders to be safe, but the only thing you can do is to be careful and try to stay out of trouble.
01:22Yeah, that's also where the whole team I have to be very thankful for because they kept me out of trouble.
01:32Could you describe or take us through the last kilometers because there were some corners and we saw it was quite slippery.
01:37How did you leave within the sprint?
01:40Yeah, it was slippery indeed, but it was Pauline Ferran-Prévot and Imogen Wolf still with me.
01:47And yeah, it was amazing just to follow their wheels and to be able to get through the last corner in front due to their work.
01:59So yes, it was slippery, but being in the front is then the best position.
02:06And I enjoyed the overwinning.
