Vuelta
JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA, Spain (AP) --- Enric Mas held on to his overall lead in a
key individual time trial at the Spanish Vuelta on Thursday. Only three hilly
stages remain in the Grand Tour.
Time trial specialist Primo? Roglic moved up from third to second overall and
gained 33 seconds on Mas but remained 1 minute, 37 seconds behind the Spaniard.
Felix Gall dropped from second to third, 3:01 behind Mas, who has held the
overall lead since inheriting it from Tadej Pogacar after the five-time Tour de
France champion crashed out in the eighth stage.
Swiss rider Stefan Kng won the 18th stage, which followed a 32.1-km (20-mile)
route from El Puerto de Santa Maria to Jerez de la Frontera.
Roglic was fourth in the stage, 19 seconds behind Kng, and Mas placed 12th, 52
seconds behind.
Stage 19 on Friday is a 210.8-kilometer (131-mile) leg from Velez-Malaga to
Penas Blancas.
The Vuelta ends Sunday in Granada.
