| After a hard day of racing in the mountains, Romain Bardet claimed Team DSM's third win at the Vuelta a España in dazzling fashion - besting the rest of the breakaway atop Pico Villuercas.
With help from the team on the flat roads, Bardet infiltrated a large 18 rider breakaway that would go on to compete for the stage win. Fighting clever, Bardet used all of his experience and some brilliant coaching from the car behind, timing his moment of attack to perfection on the final climb of the day. Pushing all the way to the line, Bardet was able to sit up and celebrate his first Vuelta stage win and another incredible performance from Team DSM at the Vuelta.
