Team DSM rider Thymen Arensman won his first Grand Tour stage on stage 15 of Vuelta a Espana on Sunday, a 153km mountain ride from Martos to Sierra Nevada, as Remco Evenepoel fought hard to retain his red jersey.
It’s time for the Queen Stage of La Vuelta 2022 and it comes at the perfect time for those who want a close final week as Primoz Roglic began his comeback by cutting Remco Evenepoel’s lead in the general classification on Saturday. Roglic gained 52 seconds on his rival in a dramatic finale which saw Evenepoel crack for the first time in the race as Miguel Angel Lopez, Carlos Rodriguez and Enric Mas surged by. Ad All of the excitement means Evenepoel goes into Stage 15 with a lead of 1’49” with Mas 2’43 behind the red jersey, Rodriguez 3’46” adrift and Juan Ayuso at 4’53”.
Boy, do we have a race on our hands… Defending champion Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) reignited the battle for red at La Vuelta with a stinging attack on the final climb of La Pandera to drop race leader Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) and put the Belgian under serious pressure for the first time during his nine-day reign at the top. An explosive climax to Stage 14 on Saturday saw Evenepoel dropped with four kilometres remaining of the third and final climb of the day.
Richard Carapaz of Ineos Grenadiers bagged another win in the Vuelta a Espana on stage 14, a 160km ride from Montoro to Sierra de La Pandera on Saturday, while Primoz Roglic attacked Remco Evenepoel to reduce the gap in the hunt for the leader's red jersey.

After Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) finally won his first stage at La Vuelta, attention turns back to the fight for red as Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) looks to hold onto his big lead in the general classification. Evenepoel leads Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) by 2’41” with Enric Mas (Movistar) a further 22 seconds adrift. Ad Saturday’s stage is the first of two summit finishes this weekend which could shake-up the standings, even if Evenepoel has shown very few signs of cracking so far.
After Richard Carapaz managed to save his Vuelta with victory on Penas Blancas on Thursday, many other riders will look to use the summit showdowns on La Pandera and the Alto Hoya de la Mora to mastermind their own return to the top table. For the man in red, Remco Evenepoel, Sunday’s blockbuster finale in the Sierra Nevada will not only be a chance to extend his lead at the top of the standings, but will also give the 22-year-old the opportunity to put another myth to bed – namely his inability to perform over long, tough climbs at altitude.
Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) can look forward to what should be a largely stress-free day in the red jersey as the spotlight shines on the sprinters on Stage 11 of La Vuelta. With two-time stage winner Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) forced out of the final Grand Tour of the year with Covid-19, Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) looks the favourite to take victory in green. That is, if he didn't needlessly burn himself out on Tuesday's time trial...
