Vingegaard doesn't necessarily have to keep red jersey in stage 4 Vuelta, Philipsen argues that "peloton decides" whether he has a chance

“I knew it was going to be a really tough stage, and it definitely was,” Philipsen told Eurosport after the third stage. “I didn’t have good legs, but it was also just a very hard day.” The Belgian knows Tuesday won't be easy either. “It depends on how the peloton rides, but we’ll see. We have to try, but in the end, the peloton decides.”

Red jersey wearer Jonas Vingegaard made it clear that Visma | Lease a Bike won't go all-in to control Stage 4 of the Vuelta. “I don’t need to keep the jersey,” said Vingegaard, “but I’m not just going to hand it over to another GC contender either. If a breakaway rider takes it, I don’t really mind.”

After winning stage 2 and finishing third on Stage 3, Vingegaard also took over the green jersey from Jasper Philipsen.
