Roglic On Verge Of Vuelta Triumph As Champoussin Wins Stage 20
AG2R-Citroën rider Clement Champoussin ambushed the favorites and surged to victory on the penultimate stage of the Vuelta a España.

AG2R-Citroën rider Clement Champoussin ambushed the favorites and surged to victory on the penultimate
stage of the Vuelta a España on Saturday as Primoz Roglič extended his lead in
the overall standings.
Slovenian double defending champion Roglič of Jumbo-Visma leads the Vuelta
by 2min 38sec from Movistar rider Enric Mas, while Bahrain's Jack Haig climbed
to third ahead of the final day individual time-trial.
The 23-year-old Frenchman Champoussin only turned professional a year ago,
and this was his first win, and he raised a solitary finger in celebration
before thumping his chest at the finish line having attacked in the final
kilometre.
Roglič followed the winner over the line with Adam Yates and Mas on his tail.
The red jersey wearer Roglič is the Olympic time-trial champion, but
famously lost a major lead on a final day time-trial on the 2020 Tour de
France.
Sunday's final stage is a 33km run to Santiago de Compostella.
With five short but tough mountain passes on a tough stage in Galicia on
Saturday, South African Ryan Gibbons had a gut wrenching afternoon as his
long-range solo escape wilted with less than 2km to go.
Miguel Ángel López of Movistar had a bad day, allowing Haig to climb to
third and Ineos's Adam Yates climbed to fourth. Egan Bernal also slid way down
the standings.
