During the first week of the final Grand Tour of the ongoing race season, Team IAM Cycling has been one of the most active Teams being part of many escape groups. "Ever since the beginning of this Vuelta, we have been using all our strength to stay out front. Today, we have been well rewarded for our efforts," said team rider Clément Chevrier. "In the last two kilometers, the fighting for a good position was tough, however, I was able to hold a perfect position for the uphill sprint finish." Van Genechten analyzed after the finish. "When we came around the last corner I put everying I had on the pedals. To beat guys like Valverde and Gilbert who are always strong in such finals, makes the victory even sweeter," concluded van Genechten.
