Soler: “It was a bit chaotic”

Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates): “The truth is that they [Kern Pharma] are doing a spectacular Vuelta. Everything is working out for them, I congratulate them. Today they played their cards very well, and the third victory for the team. In the end, it was a bit chaotic to catch the breakaway, it was a very big group. The selection was made little by little, and in the end I was the only rider of the team who was inside. I tried to fight as hard as I could, but today my legs weren't the best. Jay [Vine] was the leader [of the KOM standings] and he wasn't in the breakaway. Then, I think the third was Castrillo, and I went to fight to get the maximum points and give that peace of mind to the team.”
