Chris Froome (Team Sky) won yesterday’s final time trial of the Vuelta a España and gained a significant amount of time on his GC rivals to stay in contention for the title after cutting Nairo Quintana’s lead down to 1’21”.
The Tour de France champion, second in GC, clocked a best time of 46’33”. Alberto Contador (Tinkoff), who finished almost two minutes behind Froome, is now third overall while Esteban Chaves (Orica-Bike Exchange) slipped down to fourth after losing over three minutes.
The title will be decided on Saturday’s 20th stage, a gruelling mountain stage to the Alto de Aitana.
Here are onboard highlights from the stage:
