Bastien Tronchon claimed the biggest victory of his career on Tuesday, winning the 10th stage of the Vuelta a España in a sprint. The 24-year-old Frenchman prevailed at the finish in Elche after a late catch ended the breakaway’s hopes.
A seven-rider group had escaped on the undulating route through the foothills of the Sierra de Alcaraz in southern Spain. Michael Gogl, Austria’s national champion, remained at the front until about four kilometers before the finish.
The peloton then reeled in Gogl and his breakaway companion. Their capture set up the sprint that gave Tronchon the stage win.
Felix Gall finished with the main group, while the overall classification stayed unchanged. Gall remains third in the general standings.
