INEOS Grenadiers (Spain) - Press Release: Vuelta a Espana Stage 14: Montoro › Sierra de La Pandera, 160.3km.

Richard Carapaz put in a dogged performance from the breakaway to seal a dramatic solo victory on Sierra de La Pandera.

Carapaz had been part of a 10-rider break before attacking his fellow escapees in the closing kilometres to reduce the size of the group before going solo with 3.5 kilometres remaining.

The Olympic champion was clear of the break, but faced a battle against the chase group behind as Primoz Roglic (Jumbo Visma) attacked the GC contenders and was closing in on Carapaz.
