Primoz Roglic claimed an impressive victory in stage 19 of the Vuelta a Espana to finally jump ahead of Ben O’Connor in the general classification.<\/b><\/p>\n

Three-time Vuelta champion Roglic started the day five seconds behind the Australian but now leads by 1min 54secs.<\/p>\n

Roglic’s team Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe led for most of the stage and the Slovenian pulled ahead with just under 5km to go before closing out a composed ride.<\/p>\n

O’Connor took the overall lead from Roglic in stage six and had led after every stage until Friday, but his advantage had been significantly reduced in recent stages.<\/p>\n

Spanish rider Enrique Mas remains third in the general classification and – after slipping to fourth in the stage having earlier been second – is now 2min 20secs behind Roglic. <\/p>\n

Saturday’s stage 20 is the penultimate stage of the Vuelta, a mountainous 172km ride from Villarcayo to Picon Blanco.<\/p>\n

The race finishes with an individual time trial on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
