Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) was one of eight riders to abandon La Vuelta ahead of Stage 10's individual time trial as Covid continues to rip through the peloton. The Irishman — as confirmed by his team on social media — was a late withdrawal after returning a positive antigen test prior to Tuesday’s 30.9km dash from Elche to Alicante. He is the 12th rider to leave the race due to Covid.
South Africa's Louis Meintjes powered to victory in stage nine of the Vuelta a Espana with a lung-busting solo effort on Sunday as Belgian Remco Evenepoel extended his lead at the top of the general classification. It was Meintjes' maiden stage win at the Vuelta as he emerged the strongest among the nine-man breakaway group, finishing more than a minute ahead of Italian duo Samuele Battistella and Edoardo Zambanini. Evenepoel put in another strong showing, pulling away from his general classification rivals in the closing stages to cross the line fourth and open up a minute 12-second lead over local favourite Enric Mas. Three-times defending champion Primoz Roglic struggled on the 171.4km course from Villaviciosa to Les Praeres, fading towards the end and falling almost two minutes behind Evenepoel of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl in the overall standings.

Sam Bennett stretched his lead in the points classification on Friday after Jesus Herrada of Cofidis sprinted to victory to take stage seven of the Vuelta a Espana, a 190km ride from Camargo to Cistierna.
On a day the pendulum tantalisingly swung between the breakaway and the peloton, it was the five-man move which ultimately ended up on top with Spain’s Jesus Herrada (Cofidis) proving the strongest in a thrilling conclusion to Stage 7 in Cistierna. The only man in the breakaway with a previous Vuelta stage win to his name, Herrada used all his experience and guile to time his sprint to perfection, launching from the wheel of Britain’s Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) and then holding off a late surge from Italy’s Samuele Battistella (Astana-Qazaqstan).
Belgium's young all-rounder Remco Evenepoel grabbed the leader's red jersey at La Vuelta in a dramatic conclusion to a rain-drenched sixth stage won by Australian Jay Vine on Thursday.
