The Vuelta a España reaches a crucial point on Stage 18 as the race
turns against the clock, with 32.1km between El Puerto de Santa
María and Jerez de la Frontera. With Enric Mas starting the day in
red, Felix Gall in second and Primož Roglič sitting third overall,
the time trial represented a huge opportunity for the Slovenian to
close the gap. Roglič had historically had the advantage over Mas
against the clock, but the Spaniard had more than two minutes in
hand and needed to limit his losses to keep the lead. At the front
of the stage, Stefan Küng produced a huge ride to set the fastest
time, holding off the challenge of the other time-trial
specialists. Wout van Aert had been one of the main threats to his
time but faded slightly towards the finish, leaving Küng to claim a
major Vuelta victory. The real drama came further down the road as
the GC riders completed their rides. Roglič put significant time
into Enric Mas, but not enough to take the red jersey. Mas finished
just 12th fastest on the day, losing a little over half a minute to
Roglič and successfully defending his overall lead. Félix Gall
dropped from second to third overall, with Roglič moving into
second. We get into Küng's brilliant stage win, Roglič's attempt to
take control of the GC, Mas' successful defence of the red jersey
and what the time trial means for the final stages of the Vuelta.
