Jay Vine powered to victory in stage six of the Vuelta a Espana as Torstein Traeen came second to take the overall race lead.<\/b><\/p>\n

Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) led a solo attack in the final 20km after breaking away from a 10-man group which got away early on the 170.3km stretch across the Pyrenees from Olot in Catalonia to Pal in Andorra.<\/p>\n

It was a third individual Vuelta stage win for the 29-year-old Australian, who lives in Andorra.<\/p>\n

“The Vuelta wasn’t on my schedule originally, so to be able to win in Andorra in front of my son and wife is unbelievable and incredibly motivating,” said Vine.<\/p>\n

“I know these roads pretty well. I’m from just down the hill, and La Comella is my favourite climb in all of Andorra.”<\/p>\n

Norway’s Traeen, 30, finished 54 seconds behind Vine but the Bahrain Victorious rider jumped from 26th to first in the general classification.<\/p>\n

Traeen, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2022 and announced he was free from the disease the following year, holds a 31-second lead over France’s Bruno Armirail in the overall rankings. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
