Vuelta a Espana 2024 stage 18 GC Update | Mikel Landa falls out of GC contention but Ben O'Connor survives GC attacks

Stage 18 was not exactly the day in which the biggest differences were expected in the overall classification, but because of EF Education-EasyPost and Richard Carapaz this was not the case. Ben O'Connor and a few others were distanced in the Puerto Herrera but got back; but fifth placed Mikel Landa did not and lost several minutes.

Ben O'Connor suffered, lost a few meters at the end of the climb, but came back on the descent and will enter the final 3 stages of the Vuelta as the red jersey with those 5 seconds on Primoz Roglic and 1:25 on Enric Mas. Carapaz remains fourth and those improving are David Gaudu (5th), Carlos Rodriguez (6th), Mattias Skjelmose (7th), Florian Lipowitz (8th) and Pavel Sivakov (9th). Mikel Landa fell to 10th place after losing over 3 minutes on the day.
