LEKNESSUND STUNS WITH NORWEGIAN ONE-TWO | Vuelta Stage 7 Breakdown

Andreas Leknessund takes his first Grand Tour stage victory in Stage 7 of the Vuelta a España

Stage 7 takes the race 149.7km from Vall d’Alba to Ramón Valdelinares, over the mountains with an ascent of 12,300 ft. The route starts off reasonably gently, but after 52 kilometres, the riders approach the first of the five mountain classifications of the day.

With UNO-X securing a Norwegian one-two, Andreas Leknessund wins stage 7: his first Grand Tour stage victory! Team-mate Johannessen ensures that Norwegian one-two on a day doused in mourning for Norway due to the passing of King Harald, making that victory feel particularly memorable.

We get into Leknessund’s attack, stats between Brennan, Pogačar & Merckx, and Pete even manages to sneak in a Christmas mention in August!
