Primoz Roglic placed himself in pole position to retain his Vuelta a Espana title with a sensational time trial display as Briton Hugh Carthy impressed to stay in contention.
Jumbo-Visma’s Roglic took stage 13 and now holds a 39-second advantage over Ineos Grenadiers’ Richard Carapaz, having overturned his 10-second lead.
Carthy ate away at the 32-second gap to Carapaz during the 33.7km stage.
He stays third overall but is now only eight seconds behind the Ecuadorian.
Five stages remain, with the riders now set for a hilly stage 14 covering 204.7km between the Galician city of Lugo and Ourense, which the Vuelta last visited in 1960.
