Stage 14

The road

At the start

Roglič back in red, by 39 seconds

Roglič went up the Ézaro wall faster than anyone, won the time trial and took the jersey back: he leads Carapaz by 39 seconds and Carthy by 47, and the race suddenly has a shape. Today is 205 kilometres across the rugged interior of Galicia from Lugo to Ourense, three third-category climbs stacked into the second half and the last of them twenty kilometres out. A day for the break.

How it was won

1. 123 km to go

   Break over the Abelaira

   On the hilly run to Ourense the break crests the Alto de Abelaira, a strong group of attackers fighting for the day as the GC men rest.

2. 210 km to go

   A small group survives

   A handful of riders emerge from the break on the descent, Tim Wellens among them, setting up a sprint for the stage in Ourense.

3. 3At the line

   Wellens doubles up

   Wellens wins the reduced sprint and holds off a late charge from Michael Woods for his second stage of this Vuelta.
