Fabio Aru wins 2014 Vuelta Stage 11 ([picture Unipublic, Graham Watson)Vuelta Stage 11: Fabio Aru takes stage as Nairo Quintana crashes out
Astana's Fabio Aru has won Stage 11 of the Vuelta a Espana on a day when pre-race favourite Nairo Quintana of Movistar abandoned the Spanish Grand Tour following a crash early on in which he suffered a suspected broken collarbone.
Aru. third overall to Quintana in May's Giro d'Italia, got clear of a select group inside the final kilometre of the 153.4km stage from Pamplona to San Miguel de Aralar and held on to win from Quintana's team mate Alejandro Valverde, who now leads the Spanish team's challlenge.
Valverde, second overall to Contador this morning, gained six bonus seconds which see him close the gap in the overall standings to 20 seconds on his compatriot.
Omeg Pharma-Quick Step rider Rigoberto Uran is third on GC, 1 minute 8 seconds off the race lead, with Team Sky's Chris Froome a further 12 seconds back in fourth place.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
