Australian Jay Vine secured his second stage win of this year’s Vuelta a Espana on Tuesday as Jonas Vingegaard regained the overall lead.<\/p>\n

After Movistar’s Pablo Castrillo had attacked the remaining members of the breakaway on the final climb, he was reeled in by Vine.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider pulled clear of Spaniard Castrillo to win by 35 seconds in the Larra-Belagua ski resort near Spain’s border with France to secure the fourth Vuelta stage win of his career.<\/p>\n

Team Visma-Lease a Bike’s Vingegaard finished with a small group of leading contenders just over a minute behind the winner to regain the leader’s red jersey from Torstein Traeen, who was dropped on the final climb.<\/p>\n

“Winning is so, so hard, and it’s such an incredible feeling when it happens,” Vine said.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to winning, because it’s just unbelievably hard.”<\/p>\n

Vine, who won the king of the mountains classification last year, again leads the race for the polka dot jersey, having also won this year’s first mountain stage<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Joao Almeida of UAE Team Emirates-XRG is third in the overall rankings while Great Britain’s Tom Pidcock, who finished fifth on Tuesday, is in fourth place in the general classification.<\/p>\n

Stage 11 on Wednesday is a 157.4km medium mountain stage, starting and finishing in Bilbao.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australian Jay Vine secured his second stage win of this year’s Vuelta a Espana on Tuesday as Jonas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":113687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":["post-113686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
