Slovenia’s Primož Roglič secured his third stage win at this year’s Vuelta de Espana in a somewhat surprising sprint triumph following a flat 185 km stage from Castro Urdiales to Suances.
The ten second victory bonus helped him reclaim the red jersey of the overall standings leader. The 31-year-old Roglič, who had lost the red jersey in the sixth stage, is now neck and neck time-wise with Richard Carapaz, but he took over the leader’s jersey because he has more points than the Ecuadorian.
