Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz won stage 14 of the Vuelta a Espana, as overall leader Remco Evenepoel saw rival Primoz Roglic gain 48 seconds on him.
It is the Ineos rider’s second stage win, finishing eight seconds ahead of Astana’s Colombian Miguel Angel Lopez.
Jumbo-Visma’s Roglic pulled away from Belgium’s Evenepoel on the final hill of the 160km ride from Montoro to Sierra de la Pandera, finishing third.
Evenepoel finished eighth and leads Roglic by one minute 49 seconds.
“Today I didn’t have my best legs. I couldn’t accelerate when Roglic went. I’m still ahead, there’s nothing to worry about,” said Evenepoel.
