Vuelta a Espana GC update | Remco Evenepoel rises to 4th but loses a couple more seconds to Primoz Roglic

Monday, 04 September 2023 at 11:42

Big time gaps were expected by many heading into stage 9 of the 2023 Vuelta a Espana and whilst that didn't really transpire for one reason or another, differences were made.

João Almeida and Aleksandr Vlasov were the first of the GC riders across the adapted timing line at 2.05km to go due to mud concerns at the top of the climb. Five seconds later came Primoz Roglic with a group containing Enric Mas, Remco Evenepoel, Jonas Vingegaard and Juan Ayuso a further two seconds back. Similar, slight time differences continue down the standings after that meaning no sizable advantage was gained by any.
