Jonas Vingegaard shares that Tom Pidcock's mother suggested the car park as the location for the Vuelta a Espana podium, calling it one of the highlights of his career.
In an unexpected turn of events, the Vuelta a España 2021 witnessed a series of changes and impromptu celebrations. The final stage was cancelled due to protests in Madrid, but the show must go on.
Jonas Vingegaard, the rider from Israel-Premier Tech, emerged victorious, securing his first Grand Tour win. Vingegaard expressed his disappointment that the celebration couldn't take place in Madrid, but found the impromptu ceremony to be "super nice" and "a lot nicer than I thought it would be".
The impromptu podium presentation took place on top of some cool boxes in a hotel car park. The idea was inspired by Tom Pidcock's mum, and Visma-Lease a Bike played a significant role in organising the event. Despite speculation, Vingegaard did not mention any plans for the Giro d'Italia next year.
Vingegaard's victory was not the only notable achievement at the Vuelta. Tom Pidcock, another standout rider, secured his first Grand Tour podium. Pidcock's team manager's involvement in organising the impromptu podium presentation during the Vuelta a España 2021 is not explicitly mentioned in the search results.
The final stage cancellation was not the only alteration to the race. Stages 16 and 18 were also changed, while stage 11 in Bilbao was shortened, resulting in no result being recorded.
Amidst these changes, Vingegaard's dream of winning the Tour de France remains alive. He also expressed interest in winning other one-week stage races on the WorldTour. Vingegaard's victory at the Vuelta a España 2021 demonstrated the unity of cycling teams amidst protests, and his hope is that future races won't be disrupted by such incidents.
In a presentation at Visma-Lease a Bike's headquarters, Vingegaard revealed his victory. He also expressed that he hopes to continue making strides in the world of cycling, with the Tour de France being his ultimate goal. The Vuelta a España 2021 will undoubtedly go down in history as a race filled with unexpected twists and triumphs.
