Pascal Ackermann Takes the Win on Stage 9 of the Vuelta a España

BORA-hansgrohe Team (Spain) - Press Release: After the start in Castrillo del Val, the riders set off on a 158 km slightly undulating course to Aguilar de Campoo, which today offered a second chance for the sprinters. Only two riders formed today's leading group, which was able to break away relatively early from the field. The gap to the peloton levelled off at three minutes throughout the race and it was only a matter of time until they were brought back. Unfortunately, Pascal Ackermann went down after 60 km, but he was able to continue the race and caught up with the peloton not long afterwards. With 20 km to the finish line, the breakaway duo was finally reeled back in. BORA - hansgrohe remained attentive at this point, and after the duo was caught, the team from Raubling again came to the front of the race. After the last sharp turn, Pascal was in a very good position with two lead-out riders left in support. But after the German launched his sprint on the finishing stretch, S. Bennett accelerated and the two fast men contested the stage win, with the Irishman crossing the line first. After a protest, however, he was denied the win by the jury due to headbutting, and Pascal was declared the stage winner.

Results:

  1. P. Ackermann: 3:39:55
  2. G. Thijssen: +0:00
  3. M. Kanter: +0:00
