SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA (Spain) (Reuters) – Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) rode to victory on stage 21 of the Vuelta a Espana and claimed a third straight red jersey in the process.
The Slovenian, who clocked up a time of 44:02, finished the 33.8km individual time trial from Padron to Santiago de Compostela 14 seconds ahead of second-placed Magnus Cort Nielsen (EF Edcuation-Nippo) and 2:04 up on second overall in the GC Enric Mas (Movistar) to cap a fine three weeks.
Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) finished third, while Adam Yates (Ineos) ended the tour fourth.
The winning margin is the biggest at a Vuelta since Alex Zuelle in 1997.
Elsewhere, Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck–Quick-Step) claimed the green points jersey, while Michael Storer (DSM) won the King of the Mountains jersey.
