Sep 5, 2024

Ben O'Connor reflects on a tough day in Stage 18 of the Vuelta a España 2024, admitting, "It'd be nice to have a day off."


The day saw surprise attacks, as EF Education’s Richard Carapaz led a charge that put 3 minutes, 30 seconds into Mikel Landa, dropping him from fifth to 10th in the General Classification. O'Connor briefly was on the ropes but managed to hold his overall lead.


We speak to the riders, including Urko Berrade, who claimed victory from a massive escape group.
