Italy’s Francesco Gavazzi (Lampre) proved the strongest of an 11-man breakaway by winning stage 18 of the Vuelta a España on the Cantabrian coast in northern Spain. Twenty-seven-year-old Gavazzi out-sprinted Belgian Kristof Vandewalle (Quick Step) after the pair had broken clear from their fellow escapees inside the final two kilometres of the hilly 175km stage. The win was the biggest of the Italian’s career and his third Iberian peninsula scalp of the season after previous victories in the Volta a Portugal and the Tour of the Basque Country.
