The road
How it was won
- 53 km to go
Nine laps of Madrid to go
As the shadows lengthen over the capital, Jauréguí, Kennaugh, Chetout and Bouwman escape with a little under nine laps of the 5.8km circuit left and provide the evening's entertainment.

Quintana's first Grand Tour
Bennati opens from distance and Magnus Cort Nielsen, patient on Keukeleire's wheel, produces a fine finishing effort inside the last 200 metres for his second win of the race. Behind, Nairo Quintana rolls home in red — the first Colombian to win the Vuelta a España, ahead of Froome and Chaves.
