Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) has already left a spectacular mark on the 2024 Vuelta in the first 3 days of his first participation and took a deserved stage win in Castelo Branco, with the red jersey on his shoulders. Third on the opening ITT, 2nd yesterday, the Belgian star got the better of Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Jon Aberasturi (Euskaltel-Euskadi) this time.
