An attacking feast over the Sierra de Malaga summits saw Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R) fly away to the victory in stage 6 of the Vuelta, where he also claimed the red jersey as the overall leader. Part of a strong breakaway after an intense battle over the first ascent of the day, the Australian climber went solo with 27.5km to go and eventually won with a margin of 4’33’’ to his runner-up Marco Frigo (Israel Premier Tech).
