Australian Jay Vine of Alpecin-Deceuninck celebrates winning during the 77th Tour of Spain 2022, Stage 6.Jay Vine secured the first win of his professional career on stage 6 of the Vuelta a España, attacking on the final climb and fending off a determined chase by Remco Evenepoel and Enric Mas .
“It is almost unreal,” said Vine. “There were so many Ks to go, I missed the break, I got a flat tire in the first five Ks. And even though it was still the team’s plan if it came back together for me to go on the final climb, it was unreal to be able to do that. And to do that from the GC group is incredible.
Vine was a later entrant to road cycling than many, but he has marked every year in the sport with dramatic progression to the point where he’s now taking wins up against the best riders in the world. The Canberran put his rise to the top to his wife, Bre, who gave up her government job when moving with Jay first to Spain and now to Andorra to live out his professional cyclist dream
Evenepoel and Mas crossed 15 and 16 seconds behind Vine, while defending champion Primož Roglič was below his best in the wet, conditions and led in a big group of chasers for fifth, over a minute and a half behind Vine.
