Ponteareas to Baiona takes in four categorised climbs in Spain's northwest Hello and welcome to Cyclingnews' live coverage of stage 10 of the 2024 Vuelta a España Racing is back at the Vuelta after the first rest day and a chaotic After a near 1000km transfer up from Granada on the south coast to the northwest of the country in Galicia the temperatures have mercifully dropped but the racing should be no less exciting.  It's a tough stage to get things going again from Ponteareas to Baiona over 160km on uphill roads with a great chance for the breakaway to get away on the Alto de Fonfría a 15.4km climb that averages 4.2% gradient which arrives in the opening 30km of racing.  with four categorised climbs lining the route and offering up the potential for a strong break or hopeful GC rider to make it in and make a difference.  Riders are completing sign-ons in Ponteareas ahead of the neutralised roll out which is scheduled for 13:30 local time in Spain ahead of the flag drop and official start at 13:42 There are two non-starters known so far in Kobe Goossens (Intermarché-Wanty) and Harold Martín López (Astana Qazaqstan) with the former struggling from a crash on stage 6 and illness and the latter testing positive for COVID-19 So sad to leave my main goal of the season like this. But sometimes life sucks and it is what it is. Time for a reset and focus on the last races of the season. https://t.co/NyC7okIonxAugust 27, 2024 Reminder that Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) leads the Vuelta heading into the second week by 3:53 over three-time winner Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) Read what he had to say on yesterday's rest day below: 'I just love racing from the front' - Ben O'Connor relishes his unexpected lead in Vuelta a España The DNS list grows as covid continues to work its way through the Vuelta peloton with Laurens De Plus pulling out for the Ineos Grenadiers Laurens De Plus won’t start stage 10 of #LaVuelta24.

gamble and the unpredictable battle ahead at the Vuelta a España Here's how the GC standings currently sit after a thrilling ninth stage into Granada won solo by Adam Yates from the break with Richard Carapaz also making a big move up to third overall thanks to his long-range attack out of the GC group Catch up with how Yates took his stunning first win at the Vuelta below: Vuelta a España: Adam Yates stamps authority on stage 9 with solo victory 15 minutes away from what should be an explosive start and big fight to get into the breakaway with the climbing arriving almost straight from the flag.  Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep) looking sharp at the start in Ponteareas He's sat fifth on GC heading into stage 10 Race leader Ben O'Connor arrives for the second week and stage 10 of the Vuelta looking resplendent in the red jersey Can he hold onto it and take an historic victory Today will be the first challenge with a tricky day to control and the potential for someone on GC very strong to get into the breakaway Riders are gone from the unofficial start and will complete the neutralised roll out before the start proper in around 12 minutes time.  Lots of riders are right up alongside the race director's car ready for the flag to drop Should be fireworks right from the go here in Galicia.  Stage 10 of the 2024 Vuelta a España is fully underway UAE Team Emirates kick things off with an attack through Jay Vine and the rest of those wanting to get going early follow UAE are showing clear intentions with another move through Brandon McNulty After their success with Yates on stage 9 and losing key GC rider João Almeida they are clearly sticking to this aggressive stage-hunting plan.  Big group of riders trying to bridge across to McNulty and form a strong group in front before the first climb of the day - the Alto de Fonfría First few attacks are cancelled out by lots of interest behind Next waves coming each and every time someone is brought back UAE still looking very focused on being represented.  Green jersey Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) is now close to the front as the next move tries to pull away.  Still no splits but it's all out racing in this opening 10km We are closing in on the first climb of the day where the difference can easily be made and the break should form.  Van Aert launches another move with two riders joining him - Harold Tejada (Astana Qazaqstan) and Mathis Le Berre (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) They have eked out a small advantage ahead of the foot of the climb.  The riders are now onto the Alto de Fonfría (15.3 km at 4.3%) climb and the Van Aert group has been reabsorbed with things all back together Quickly the next wave of attacks have been launched.  Cian Uijtdebroeks (Visma-Lease a Bike) is off the back of the peloton and struggling already He was left confused at his lack of form after dropping out of GC on stage 7 to Cordoba Marc Soler getting involved now for UAE Team Emirates as the action heats up on the lower slopes of this first climb Ineos Grenadiers also getting into the latest small move through Oscar Rodriguez.  Wout van Aert makes another small burst and swings off after not getting much separation Reminder that he's one of the four jersey wearers in green alongside Adam Yates in polka-dots as the King of the Mountains Ben O'Connor in red as the race leader and Florian Lipowitz in white as the best young rider.  Lots of the bigger riders are being spat out the back already with the pace at the front staying extremely high on this climb.  Eddie Dunbar (Jayco AlUla) launches the next move on a steeper portion of the climb after the Australian team have looked to attack this climb Dunbar back in and still nothing doing despite the unrelenting pace Arkéa are still trying to split things up but perhaps the gradient just isn't hard enough at an average of only 4.2% A new group gets a small advantage with the likes of Mauri Vansevenant (Soudal-QuickStep) and Dunbar making it in It looks like six riders who've made it in so far but the attacks behind are still coming.  Cristián Rodríguez (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) Urko Berrade (Equipo Kern Pharma) and Mikel Bizkarra (Euskaltel-Euskadi) that had got away but it was only short-lived Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe got on the front and pulled them back Soler attacks again for UAE with Van Aert following him Just 2km to the summit of this first climb now.  It's a group of three in front as the riders approach the KOM point Van Aert and young talent William Junior Lecerf (Soudal-QuickStep) Van Aert took the 5 KOM points on top of the Alto de Fonfría and he's now kicking on in the descent with Soler and Lecerf A look inside the furious fight for the breakaway which still isn't over either on stage 10 Soler and Lecerf have descended well and edged their advantage out to 21 seconds on the peloton behind Lots of riders behind still attacking and upping the pace to ensure the breakaway formation continues.  The race is onto a tough part of the course now with 50km of flatter and undulating roads separating them from the next categorised climb where the climbers and puncheurs can make the difference Attacks are continuing on this long downhill section bringing the lead trio's lead down to just 15 seconds Quentin Pacher (Groupama-FDJ) and Juri Hollman (Alpecin-Deceuninck) have launched a duo move off the front of the charging peloton to try and bridge to the Van Aert trio They are working well and now sit just eight seconds back Contact made by Pacher and Hollmann to make it five riders in front alongside Soler Peloton splitting up behind as more attacks fly.  Peloton chasing hard and still just 13 seconds down the road Here's the young Soudal-QuickStep talent Lecerf up in one of the earlier moves of the day before joining the group in front with Van Aert He's just 21 and on Grand Tour debut at the Vuelta during what is just his neo-pro season.  the five riders in front have worked well and managed to not be reeled back in Gap still sits at 25 seconds now on the rolling terrain heading west towards Baiona We're onto a small kicked on the road and Michael Woods (Israel-Premier Tech) has kicked away to try and ensure he is up there Deficit has extended out to 35 seconds with things finally calming down The Canadian champion's move has provoked more moves from behind with lots of people panicking and launching to try and get across to the break of the day Kruijswijk for Visma and Verona for Trek among those trying to get away.  That move from Woods has completely restarted the action in the peloton behind Splits all over the place with the pace extremely high.  Gap to the Van Aert group of five in front is out to 36 seconds as the undulating roads continue on Still more attacks fly but no concerted effort to chase is being mounted yet.  Alessandro De Marchi (Jayco AlUla) is chasing on his own in no man's land between the peloton and the break after he and Eddie Dunbar tried to get their team into a move unsuccessfully earlier in the day preparing for another day of attacking in the break with barely any chances remaining for the sprinters at this year's Vuelta The five-man group in front now sits at 1:12 from the peloton and appears to be formed.  Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale have done a perfect job for Ben O'Connor today avoiding any stress in this middle phase by letting a non-threatening breakaway get away they've come to the front and started to set an easier tempo allowing the break to build a two-minute lead.  Huge 4:00 gap for the breakaway now as they head towards the second climb of the day Full Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale train at the head of the peloton to calm things down again now before the finale where things could well kick off again from the GC group even with the break well away.  Under 15km to go until the second climb of the day with the Alto de Vilachán (6.3km at 5.5%) Alto de Mabia (6km at 5.7%) and Alto de Mougás (9.9km at 6%) all arriving in a 40km block.  With De Marchi giving up his futile effort to chase across solo They have a five-minute lead now heading into the final 66km of racing on stage 10 If you're wondering why the break have been allowed such a big lead it's because the closest on GC to Ben O'Connor's lead is Pacher who started the day 34 minutes behind the Australian.  A look back at the moment Van Aert and Soler attacked to form the breakaway of the day with Lecerf following closely behind.  The breakaway has made its way onto the category 3 Alto de Vilachán Gap at a new high of 6:20 from the peloton to the break with a huge chance for the winner to come from the five in front.  Here's what much of the day has looked like for Ben O'Connor after the break successfully got away Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale working well to keep the race leader safe in red.  Just under 2km to the summit of the climb and still all together in the breakaway They are on the easiest of the three final climbs with the difficulty upping from category 3 to 2 and finally 1 up the Alto de Mougás in the run for home.  Lecerf took the 3 KOM points on offer at the crest but there wasn't much of a fight for them by anyone in the breakaway The five in front now start the descent with a 6:30 lead Just a small descent navigated and it's straight onto the next climb for the break which is slightly harder than the last Onto the lower slopes of the Alto de Mabia now with Pacher leading the breakaway but their gap to the peloton has gone down slightly to 5:27 over the past few kilometres.  New team at the front of the peloton as Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe begin to show themselves in aid of Primož Roglič We are onto 12% gradients here and O'Connor is swiftly losing teammates This pace is infernal from the German side who are still looking to make up a 3:53 gap to O'Connor in these final two weeks Isolating him is the first step but he's being kept in great position for now by Valentin Paret-Peintre.  Breakaway still together with 2.5km to go until they reach the summit of the Alto de Mabia The peloton has calmed down slightly with Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe no longer kicking on as they were.  Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto-Dstny) is struggling again and already sat at the back of the peloton Not looking good for the young Belgian GC talent with 42km to ride.  Giulio Ciccone has been forced to leave the Vuelta after his bizarre crash involving some deer on stage 8 Wild deer wreak havoc at Vuelta a España, leaving riders injured, team car roof rack and bikes

Speedy recovery Cicco! pic.twitter.com/qgQvNjWHbkAugust 27, 2024 Small crash at the back of the peloton involving Sylvain Moniquet (Lotto Dstny) Simone Petilli (Intermarché - Wanty) and Jesus Herrada (Cofidis).  Van Aert won the KOM sprint up Alto de Mabia and will now look to take the maximum points at the A Barroca intermediate sprint where he shouldn't be contested and should extend his lead in the green jersey competition over Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) After their short burst on the last climb to remove some of O'Connor's teammates Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe will probably look to try something on the next climb Soler went back to the car to get a drink and talk to his sports directors prompting Van Aert to take off for the intermediate sprint points Lecerf and Hollmann all chasing further down the road and the foot of the climb approaching.  Pacher and Van Aert are working nicely and have extended their lead to 20 seconds But the Alto de Mougás (9.9 km at 6%) is the toughest climb of the day and has than enough terrain to make the difference before the downhill run for home.  leaving just the duo of Soler and Lecerf to chase Van Aert and Pacher who are 30 seconds up the climb now.  Pacher is clearly happy to work with Van Aert in the front group but knows he will need to be rid of him by the finish if he is to take the stage win Lecerf isn't working with Soler behind him after being told not to Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale have assumed control in the peloton behind for O'Connor with no one yet making any moves to challenge the race leader.  The gap from Soler and Lecerf to Van Aert and Pacher is stable still at 25 seconds.  Lecerf has now come through to take a turn with Soler as EF Education EasyPost move to the front of the peloton behind for Richard Carapaz.  Carapaz has Cepeda doing the pacing on the front and this is putting a lot of riders off the back in the group of favourites.  Lecerf has attacked and left Soler behind with just over 3km to the summit of the climb Here's Van Aert and Pacher at the head of stage 10 They lead by 30 seconds from Lecerf who is now chasing on his own O'Connor shows his strength and rolls through to the front in the red jersey letting every one behind him know that he is by no means struggling on this long climb Soler has rejoined Lecerf but they are only going backwards in their pursuit of the leading duo - now 32 seconds down Pacher is riding well but he's surely never going to beat Van Aert in a sprint if they arrive to the final kilometre together Can the Frenchman find a way to beat the Belgian superstar Van Aert takes the KOM sprint up the final climb and moves level with Adam Yates on 22 points He and Pacher are now on the final descent to the line in Baiona.  in the peloton it's no stress for O'Connor and his teammates as the climb is nearly complete and the terrain is no longer hard enough to trouble him The peloton should ride safely together to the line in Baiona now.  Quentin Pacher has never won a pro bike race The closest he came to a big one was at the Vuelta in 2022 when he lost out only to Rigoberto Urán up to Monasterio de Tentudía But it will be quite the tall order to win today in a sprint-a-deux up against Wout van Aert Gap out to Lecerf and Soler is now out past the minute mark so it will be between the two in front it will be his third stage win on debut at the Vuelta a España.  Here's the two men set to battle for the victory in a sprint: Quentin Pacher (Groupama-FDJ) and Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike).  Final kicker on the profile navigated and it is just this quick descent by the coast left to get through before the final sprint in Baiona which is right by the waterfront Equal work between the two men in the break as they approach the finale Soler and Lecerf are well behind at 1:45 with the now calm peloton at 5:18 Euskaltel-Euskadi have randomly attacked back in the peloton on one of the kickers Slight waste of energy there but nonetheless always nice to see the orange jerseys on show.  He had to try something and it was a short burst with 1.6km to go Van Aert immediately shut him down and this stage is only going one way Final kilometre now and Van Aert is sat on the back wheel of Pacher Pacher is leading this one out with his fate almost certainly sealed.  Van Aert goes and there is nothing Pacher can do simply dropping his head and accepting defeat behind the superior rider.  Wout van Aert wins stage 10 of the 2024 Vuelta a España and he continues this wonderful return to winning form after a tough early portion of his season was ruined by injuries He shaked hands with Pacher after a respectful battle and celebrates with his family who are at the line to greet him.  Soler takes third after Hollmann made his way back into the chasing group on the descent The German takes fifth in the end with Lecerf also beating him to the line in Baiona.  Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) crosses the line in Baiona for his third stage win at this year's Vuelta and his 12th at Grand Tour level adding to nine from the Tour de France Here's what second Pacher had to say after only losing out to Van Aert on stage 10: "The start was really strong on the second category climb and the breakaway was only five riders I was thinking maybe others would come back from the peloton but it was not the case We tried to pull to have a big gap until the three last climb and on the intermediate sprint he [Van Aert] goes and it was key for me to be in his wheel and try to stay with him a long time," Pacher told Eurosport as he described how the winning move went from Van Aert "It's not really easy to find a place to attack Wout because he is strong everywhere so I tried to stay in his wheel and I just gave my best and didn't think too much I can only be satisfied because I am beaten by a guy who was stronger." And here's Van Aert's post-stage win words after netting a strong win from the breakaway at the Vuelta: "It was really my aim to be in the breakaway we really needed to fight to get a bit of a gap," he said.  I think it was in my favor because in the final Here's how the GC standings look after stage 10 Ben O'Connor maintains his lead just under halfway through the 2024 Vuelta Make sure to read

move behind 30km from the finish Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) led home William Junior Lecerf (Soudal-QuickStep) and Juri Hollmann (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to fill out the top five all three having earlier been in the break Despite several climbs filling the 180km stage including a first-category test 20km from the finish with the main contenders all finishing safely in the peloton at 5:31 down but I had a hard time on the first climb," Van Aert said after the finish we really needed to fight to get a bit of a gap I think it was in my favour because in the final The leading quintet on the stage had come out on top of a long early battle for the breakaway which would last the entire first quarter of the stage the green jersey holder and the biggest star in the move was always the favourite for victory if his break mates couldn't shed him on the road to Baiona He didn't give the four riders with him a chance to try and drop him on the toughest challenge of the stage the day's final climb of the Alto de Mougás he set off alone before the intermediate sprint with over 30km to go With Pacher unable to get the better of Van Aert on the way up the climb where Van Aert unsurprisingly proved himself the superior finisher Jhonatan Narváez (Ineos Grenadiers) led the peloton home The lack of any time gaps among the red jersey contenders means that Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) continues in the race lead into stage 11 with an advantage of 3:53 over Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) The 10th stage of the Vuelta a España took the riders over a challenging 160km course from Ponteareas to Baiona with four classified climbs filling the stage including the first-category Alto de Mougás (9.6km at 6%) With two more second-category climbs plus a third-category climb on the day's route – as well as the potential for a break to stay away – the battle for the break would be fierce from the start sending Brandon McNulty and Jay Vine up the road among the early attacks which also included the likes of Einer Rubio (Movistar) and Dani Martínez (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) The battle to make the break of the day would last the opening 45km of the stage and over the day's first climb the second-category Alto de Fonfría It was Van Aert who led the way over the top as attacks continued to flow from behind accompanied by Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) and William Junior Lecerf (Soudal-QuickStep) The trio quickly became a quintet as Juri Hollmann (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Quentin Pacher (Groupama-FDJ) came across the gap the likes of Michael Woods (Israel-Premier Tech) and Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) attempted to get in on the action but it was too late for them to make it up to the leaders Alessandro De Marchi (Jayco-AlUla) was another rider to give it a go with the Italian chasing the breakaway solo as the race hit the final 90km in the 50km of flat land between the first two climbs of the day though it would ultimately be a doomed one that saw him brought back into the peloton at 70km from the finish By the time the riders hit the third-category climb of the Alto de Vilachán the five out front had over six minutes on the peloton controlled at that point by Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale As the stage headed into its final 50km and towards its penultimate climb Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe took over the pacemaking at the front of the peloton Work by the German team quickly brought the breakaway's gap down to five minutes as their pacemaking swiftly reduced the numbers in the peloton on the lumpy terrain Lecerf and Van Aert led the race over the top of the Mabia with a slightly extended lead of 5:30 a gap that would increase further in the valley before the final climb Soler being distanced on the way down the descent left four up front for the intermediate sprint between the two hills which Van Aert duly scooped up with a solo move a kilometre out Pacher would be the only man left behind to get back across to Van Aert before the start of the Mougás Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale were back on the front in service of red jersey O'Connor the group – now slimmed to a size of around 20 men – moved under the five-minute mark but there was no major upping of the pace on the road up Van Aert and Pacher couldn't be separated on the climb not that there were any major efforts launched by either rider Van Aert led the way over the top to add 10 points to his day's total bringing him to 22 and level with polka dot jersey leader Adam Yates Lecerf was rejoined by Soler before the top though the pair were losing time to the leaders and their disadvantage stretched out to a minute on the way down Van Aert and Pacher enjoyed a comfortable 1:25 over the chasers with the peloton now at 5:10 back with no moves behind made among the GC men Hollmann made it back to Soler and Lecerf for the final 4km the victory would be decided between the two men up the road the weaker sprinter of the two would have to make a move before the final metres but Van Aert was alert and quick to follow the acceleration leaving Pacher on the front for the entire run to the line With Van Aert in prime position on Pacher's wheel the result was all but decided before the finish and so the green jersey easily nipped past to grab his third stage victory of the race Results powered by FirstCycling Dani
