Philippe Gilbert wins Vuelta Stage 12 with solo attack
Philippe Gilbert attacked from the break with 8.5 kilometres remaining of today’s Stage 12 of the Vuelta to ride to a solo victory in Bilbao, his sixth career stage win in the Spanish Grand Tour.
As happened yesterday with Mikel Iturria, the stage winner just held on from his closest pursuers to win by a handful of seconds, with Alex Aranburu of Caja Rural-Seguros RGA second and Fernando Barcelo of Euskadi-Murias third, Gilbert denying Basque fans a second successive home win in the region.
Primoz Roglic of Jumbo-Visma rolled over the line in the GC group around three minutes later and retains the race leader’s red jersey with an advantage of 1 minute 52 seconds over Movistar’s Alejandro Valverde.
Full report, result and reaction to follow.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
So, to say you didn't see them and you're really sorry and you really really need your bike, so please can you just walk free?
This is my frustration with the service, you're not paying £31 for a premium service for the sport you want to watch, you're paying £31 for a load...
Re. two lanes - given the US attitudes towards their military, I reckon the lane on the right is reserved for those of rank Corporal or above.
I'd start even younger... (I actually think driving licences should need renewed after a period, whatever age)....
Good for them and cycling in general.
I thought the saying was, "If it bleeds, we can kill it"?
It's a topsey-turvey world some times:...
wtjs who, if I've understood correctly, only reports "must"s now...
correct. poor typing!
I quite liked the changes. I liked parking parallel to the road as I have a camper van so could sit with the side door open to the sea. ...
