Dutchman Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal Quick Step), European road champion, opened his locker at the Vuelta a San Juan with the sprint victory for the Colombian Fernando Gaviria (Movistar) and Spaniard Jon Aberasturi (Trek Segefredo), while Ireland’s Sam Bennett (Bora Hansgrohe) kept the leader’s jersey from Albiceleste.
An explosive finish, this time without incident, where the best sprinters were measured. Among all, the European champion jersey emerged Fabio Jacobson (Gorinchem, 26 years old), well launched by his team and able to finish Gaviria and Aberasturi close to the line with a time of 4h:22:22, averaging 45.9 km/h.
Aberasturi (Vitoria, age 33) led the way Bennett, with good form. The Irishman managed to keep the albiceleste jersey, the same time as Jakobsen and 4 seconds ahead of Gaviria, exciting the Colombian fans and Movistar, with whom he celebrates his first season as a star signing for 2023.
The second stage of the Vuelta a San Juan, the longest of this edition with 201 km between Valle Fértil and San Jose de Jahalwas encouraged by a 12-man breakaway that demanded a strong rhythm from the platoon for their neutralization.
