I would like to thank the team for the support and opportunities they have given me over these years. I have had the chance to grow and to compete alongside the very best, and I know that what I have learned will always remain part of my professional background. I now feel it is time for me to take a different path, with the same enthusiasm and I wish UAE Team Emirates XRG success for the future.
After a narrow defeat in the Figueres team time trial at the Vuelta a España against arch-rivals UAE Team Emirates-XRG, rather than express too many regrets about their near-miss in the team time trial, Jonas Vingegaard preferred to look at the positive elements of the day, with returning to the leader's jersey obviously right at the top of the list.
