Vuelta a Espana 2024 stage 6 GC Update | Ben O'Connor new race leader with almost 5 minutes over Roglic; Adam Yates, Brandon McNulty and Matthew Riccitello lose important time

Stage 6 of the Vuelta a España will be a day to remember for Ben O'Connor who took the stage win and the race lead. The Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale rider is the new red jersey with a large gap over Primoz Roglic on a day where a few important riders lost important time.

O'Connor gained over 6:30 minutes on the peloton and is now the red jersey with 4:51 minutes over Roglic. Florian Lipowitz, Cristián Rodríguez and Clément Berthet also benefited from the breakaway to climb to 4th, 6th and 11th respectively.

On the contrary, the hilly day - which also saw a few crashes - saw Adam Yates lose 2:23 minutes on the peloton. American hopes Matthew Riccitello and Brandon McNulty also lost many minutes and could have been taken out of GC contention.
