(Reuters) – Wout Van Aert won the 10th stage of the Vuelta a Espana on Tuesday after a last-ditch sprint took him past Quentin Pacher who finished in second place, three seconds behind.
Belgian Van Aert and Frenchman Pacher broke away from the rest of the group 30km from the end and Van Aert outsprinted his rival to claim his third stage win of the race.
Spaniard Marc Soler came third after winning a sprint against Belgian William Junior Lecerf and Juri Hollmann from Germany, just over two minutes behind Van Aert.
Australian Ben O’Connor maintained the overall lead, three minutes 53 seconds ahead of Slovenian Primoz Roglic.
