The Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a appeared finely poised going into the stage 20 mountain showdown. With just 44 seconds separating the top two and questions over both of them \u2013 one to do with health, team support the other \u2013 the final mountain stage was set to define the outcome of the Spanish Grand Tour. On a finale such as the brutal Bola del Mundo, anything could happen, but in the end, it was the red jersey who stayed firmly in control, biding his time until a couple hundred metres outside the flamme rouge where he made his move.<\/p>\n

Jonas Vingegaard crossed the finish line 11 seconds ahead of teammate Sepp Kuss, with Jai Hindley third after trying in vain to drop Tom Pidcock in the last few kilometres of the climb. The Brit finished a handful of seconds after Hindley to defend a landmark GC podium, with second-overall Jo\u00e3o Almeida settling for fifth on the stage. The Dane’s third stage win means he takes a lead of 1:16 to Madrid for the Vuelta’s final stage.<\/p>\n
