Wednesday 13 September: Stage 17 - Ribadesella/Ribeseya - Altu de L'Angliru, 124.4km

Primoz Roglic claimed a dramatic queen stage to the mythical mountain pass Altu de L'Angliru, where Jumbo-Visma once again emphasised their dominance, finishing first, second, and third.

Three kilomtres from the finish, the 2023 Giro d'Italia winner attacked with only Jonas Vingegaard able to jump up and stay with his teammate.

The duo crossed the finish line together, 19 seconds ahead of red leader's jersey holder Sepp Kuss .

Kuss narrowly held on to the overall lead, having just an eight-second advantage to teammate Vingegaard. Roglic is in third place, 1:08 behind Kuss. But with the Slovenian having almost three minutes to Juan Ayuso in fourth, a Jumbo-Visma podium sweep in Madrid looks more and more likely.

Tuesday 12 September: Stage 16 - Liencres Playa - Bejes, 120.1km

Jonas Vingegaard rode solo to his second stage win of this year's La Vuelta and gained more than a minute on his biggest rivals for the overall victory.

The two-time Tour de France winner launched a powerful attack with four kilometres to go on the final steep climb, and none of the other GC contenders were able to follow.

Behind Vingegaard, Finn Fisher-Black finished in second place on the stage, with Wout Poels taking third.

Sepp Kuss held on to the red leader's jersey and goes into Wednesday's gruelling summit finish to Altu de L'Angliru with a 29-second advantage to his teammate Vingegaard.

Portuguese veteran Rui Costa secured his first career stage win at La Vuelta after outsprinting his breakaway companions in Lekumberri.

The 2013 world champion launched an attack on the final climb, accompanied by Lennard Kamna and Santiago Buitrago , leaving stage 14 winner Remco Evenepoel in their wake.

In a closely contested sprint, the Intermarche-Circus-Wanty rider edged out Kamna at the line, with Buitrago rounding off the podium.

The General Classification riders finished in the peloton, and Sepp Kuss retains the leader's red jersey heading into the second rest day.

Saturday 9 September: Stage 14 - Sauveterre-de-Béarn - Larra-Belagua, 156.5km

Defending champion Remco Evenepoel salvaged some pride winning the stage in style a day after losing any chances of winning the Vuelta a España.

The Belgian launched a few attacks during the stage, before racing home just over a minute ahead of Romain Bardet (DSM-Firmenich) in second place. Evenepoel attacked at the top of Col de la Hourcère with Bardet going with him.

He dropped the Frenchman with four kilometres to go for a dominant solo victory making up for the disappointment from the day before which saw him dropping out of the general classification.

Finishing eight minutes behind him in eighth place, Sepp Kuss held onto the red jersey consolidating his overall lead.

Friday 8 September: Stage 13 - Formigal. Huesca la Magia - Col du Tourmalet, 134.7km

Jonas Vingegaard claimed the mountain-packed stage in the Pyreness to Col du Tourmalet on an eventful day in La Vuelta that saw a big shake-up in the general classification.

The two-time Tour de France champion attacked with eight kilometres remaining on the final climb, and nobody could follow.

Vingegaard managed to keep the chasers behind and secured the stage win, with Sepp Kuss finishing in second and Primoz Roglic in third to complete the Jumbo-Visma domination.

Last year's winner Remco Evenepoel was dropped 90 kilometres from the finish on the Col d'Aubisque. The chance of reclaiming the Vuelta crown seems very slim now for the Belgian, who lost several minutes against the other GC contenders.

João Almeida , sixth in the general classification before the stage, also had a nightmarish day, after losing contact to the group of favourites around the same time as Evenepoel.

Kuss held onto the red jersey and increased his overall lead to 1:37. His teammates Roglic and Vingegaard moved up to second and third place on a very successful day for the Dutch Jumbo-Visma team.

Jesus Herrada took his third career stage win in La Vuelta, as he outsprinted his breakaway companions on the final 200 metres of the climb to La Laguna Negra on stage 11.

The Spaniard was part of a big group that escaped the peloton early on the stage, where the Cofidis rider proved to be the strongest.

Red leader's jersey wearer Sepp Kuss and the general classification riders crossed the finish line in a group together, almost six minutes after the winner. Therefore, the American remains the race leader by 26 seconds to Marc Soler in second place.

The Italian watt-monster then got his revenge for the time trial World Championships, where he finished 12 seconds behind Evenepoel.

Sunday 3 September: Stage 9 - Cartagena - Collado de la Cruz de Caravaca, 184.5km

Lennard Kämna of the Bora-Hansgrohe team won Stage 9 of La Vuelta.

Kamna was in an eight-man breakaway as cross-winds made life hazardous for the field, and the German pushed clear on the closing ascent to complete a full sets of stage wins in Grand Tours.

Dangerous conditions on the final climb meant times for the general classification were taken just over 2km from the finish with Primož Roglič mistakenly thinking he had gained some seconds on his red jersey rivals. Sepp Kuss retained the overall race lead.

The first summit finish of La Vuelta 2023 in Andorra was a golden opportunity for the general classification riders to test each other's strength.

Defending Vuelta champion, Remco Evenepoel initiated an early sprint in a reduced group of favourites and took the stage victory ahead of this year's Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard and Juan Ayuso .

Evenepoel crashed right after the finish line, but did not seem to sustain any seriuos injuries, as he took over the red leader's jersey. Movistar's Enric Mas is in second place overall, five seconds behind the Belgian, with Lenny Martinez of Groupama - FDJ in third, 11 seconds behind the leader of the race.

Vuelta a Espana 2023: GC action cut short as Lennard Kamna wins on muddy mountain

Updated 03/09/2023 at 17:21 GMT

Another unusual day at the Vuelta a Espana saw the final 2.05km go uncontested in the general classification battle due to difficult conditions on the road. Although times were taken from the 2.6km mark, the stage still finished atop the final climb, meaning Lennard Kamna had to grind all the way to his maiden victory at the Spanish Grand Tour.

Sepp Kuss Solidifies Lead, Vingegaard Wins on Stage 13 of the Vuelta

Jumbo-Visma was simply brilliant on the Col du Tourmalet, as Remco Evenepoel suffered and fell out of contention.

It’s becoming more likely that, for the first time in a decade, an American will win a grand tour.

Sepp Kuss further distanced his rivals on Stage 13 of the Vuelta a España, taking second on the stage. He was 30 seconds behind his Jumbo-Visma teammate and 2023 Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard, who won his first stage of the Vuelta.

Kuss now leads the Vuelta by 1 minute, 37 seconds with eight stages remaining. It’s an all-Jumbo-Visma podium in the general classification standings with Primož Roglič in second place and the Stage 13 winner Vingegaard behind 1:44. Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) is the top non-Jumbo rider in the GC, 2:37 behind the leader Kuss.

Meanwhile, defending Vuelta winner and one of the pre-race favorites, Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), had a miserable day in the saddle losing over 27 minutes and fading out of GC contention. He is now in 19th place overall, 27:50 behind Kuss.

Evenepoel was dropped with around 90km and only went backwards from there.

With Jumbo-Visma controlling the lead group throughout most of the day, Vingegaard launched an attack with 8km to go—playing one of many of Jumbo’s cards. He wouldn’t be caught and he rode to the stage victory, winning by 30 seconds over Kuss, who finished second on the stage.

Kuss attacked from the group, followed shortly by Roglič, as Jumbo made it 1-2-3 on the stage, just as it is in the GC.

Race report Jumbo-Visma sets a hard pace from the start. The peloton stretches in the strong winds and then… breaks. There are 13 riders at the front. Remco Evenepoel, Mattia Cattaneo, Aleksandr Vlasov, Nico Denz, Matevz Grovekar and Emanuel Buchmann are the only riders able to match Jumbo-Visma’s powerplay. Robert Gesink is the only Jumbo Bee missing at the front before Attila Valter makes it two due to a flat tyre.

The first group opens up a maximum lead of 45 seconds, but it’s down to 23 seconds at the base of the Puerto Casas de la Marina la Perdiz. The second group regains contact on the climb before a Lennard Kämna, Amanuel Gehbreigzabhier, Matteo Sobrero, Ruben Fernandez, Daniel Navarro and Jon Barrenetxea group of six jump off the front. Chris Hamilton tracks the six down before the summit, Jonathan Caicedo on descent.

The eight carve out a lead of 8.30 minutes before cross winds do damage again in the peloton. The first group brings the gap down to under 4 minutes. All GC riders are presents in the first echelon, except Martinez, Poels and Uijtdebroeks. When a regroupment takes place inside the last 55 kilometres the gap goes out to 5 minutes.

Kämna attacks from the lead group with 5.5 kilometres left to go. Sobrero tries to make it across, but to no avail. The Italian does not give in and he keeps on pushing.

Almeida strikes on the lower slopes and Vlasov rejoins him. The time is taken 2.5 kilometres before the top and the two put a handful of seconds into their GC rivals.

Meanwile, Kämna forges on to take the win ahead of Sobrero. The German completes the triple, winning stages in the Giro, Tour and La Vuelta.
