Remco Evenepoel wins in red as breakaway survivor Robert Gesink cruelly denied on Stage 18 at La Vuelta
Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) won in red after a thrilling finish to Stage 18 at La Vuelta saw the Belgian towed into the finale by rival Enric Mas (Movistar) before the pair cruelly leapfrogged Robert Gesink (Jumbo-Visma). Despite a huge 42-man breakaway allowed up the road, Evenepoel and Mas overhauled the last survivor, Gesink, in the final 500 metres after a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse between the two remaining big GC hitters.
