CyclingThursday, 29 August 2024 at 18:15
Stage 12 of the 2024 Vuelta a Espana was all about the summit finish finale. In the end though, as the breakaway and Equipo Kern Pharma's Pablo Castrillo took the win on the day, the Red Jersey contenders kept their powder dry.
As such, Ben O'Connor retains a 3:16 lead over Primoz Roglic, with Enric Mas completing the podium after 12 stages, 3:58 down on the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team leader.
Further down the GC, Richard Carapaz and Mikel Landa complete the top-5, before the Best Young Rider Carlos Rodriguez in 6th ahead of his nearest White Jersey contender Florian Lipowitz, with Adam Yates, Felix Gall and George Bennett rounding out the top-10.

- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
