Marc Soler found a superb late surge to win stage 16 of the Vuelta a España, on a dramatic day in the mountains which saw Primoz Roglic cut Ben O’Connor’s overall lead to just five seconds as Wout van Aert crashed out of the race.
Soler (UAE Team Emirates) was first to reach the summit finish at Lagos de Covadonga, in a time of four hours, 44 minutes and 46 seconds. “To win at home in the Vuelta is very special,” Soler told Eurosport.
