After initially fuming, Remco Evenepoel filed his unfortunate spill on Stage 12 of La Vuelta under «s*** happens”.

Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) emerged from a break to win the stage as Evenepoel ultimately solidified his general classification advantage.

Luckily for the red jersey, the damage was not as severe as it was for his team-mate Julian Alaphilippe 24 hours earlier, the French world champion having been forced out of the race with a dislocated shoulder.
