Late breakaway propels Spain’s Soler to Stage 16 win at Vuelta

Spain’s Marc Soler conquered the ascent to Lagos de Covadonga with a late breakaway to win Stage 16 of the Vuelta a Espana on Tuesday.
In the final five kilometres, Soler saw an opportunity to surge ahead and opened up an unreachable gap at the front, with Italy’s Filippo Zana and Britain’s Max Poole taking second and third, respectively.
Belgian rider Wout van Aert was forced to withdraw from the Vuelta following a crash during a descent, where he sustained an injury to his legs and arms. The accident occurred with more than 50km left in the stage.
