Cycling’s big stories this week come from the Vuelta a España, where 20-year-old Slovenian Jakob Omrzel claimed a breakthrough Stage 12 victory while Enric Mas strengthened his grip on the red jersey, leading Primož Roglič by 1:45. Attention now turns to Stage 13, with Wout van Aert chasing his first win of the race on a hilly course that could favour a breakaway. In Britain, Lewis Askey leads the Tour of Britain after winning Stage 1, while Tim Merlier took Stage 2 in a sprint at Skegness.
