Australian Jay Vine won stage six of the Vuelta a Espana with a late attack as Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel took the overall lead in the race for the first time in his career.
Alpecin-Deceuninck rider Vine, 26, caught Ukraine’s Mark Padun in driving rain on a brutal final ascent.
Reigning champion Primoz Roglic lost time and is fourth overall, one minute and one second behind Evenepoel, 22.
Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart is seventh overall and Simon Yates is ninth.
The pair finished in a pack, which included Roglic, one minute and 37 seconds behind Vine.
Evenepoel finished the ascent 15 seconds after Vine, with Spain’s Enric Mas and Juan Ayuso third and fourth respectively.
Frenchman Rudy Molard conceded the leader’s red jersey to Evenepoel after a mechanical but sits second by 21 seconds in the general classification.
