It is not something I really enjoy, not co-operating fully, but sometime you have to play it smart."I knew how to time my sprint and I timed it perfectly."Vingegaard was flanked by his Visma-Lease a Bike team-mates as he came home over six minutes later, along with other GC favourites including Joao Almeida and Britain's Tom Pidcock.The final 100 metres to the line was marked by a show of pro-Palestinian protest flags, but there was no repeat of stage 11 when racing was affected and curtailed three kilometres before the finish in Bilbao.That had led to race technical director Kiko Garcia reportedly discussing the Israel-Premier Tech team, external in the context of the safety of the rest of the peloton.Friday's 13th stage is the second longest in this year's Vuelta at 202.7km and it should see the general classification race ignite on the final climb, a brutal summit finish on the Angliru where gradients will ramp up above 20%.Stage 12 results1.
