Evenepoel wins Vuelta stage as overall leader Kuss moves closer to first major victory

Associated Press  

LA CRUZ DE LINARES, Spain — Remco Evenepoel put on a dominant performance to win the 18th stage of the Spanish Vuelta on Thursday, with overall leader Sepp Kuss comfortably holding on to the red jersey by crossing the line ahead of his closest rivals and taking a big step toward his first major victory. Kuss moved closer to becoming the first American to win a Grand Tour race in nearly a decade by staying safely within the peloton throughout the 179-kilometer route that took riders through an unprecedented mountain pass at La Cruz de Linares. The Belgium rider from team Soudal Quick-Step crossed the line nearly five minutes ahead of second-place Damiano Caruso for his third stage win in the Vuelta this year. We should just be happy and proud.” Three-time Vuelta champion Primoz Roglic, the other rider helping Jumbo-Visma dominate the Grand Tour race in Spain, crossed the line near Kuss and remained third overall, more than a minute back.
