Nicolas Roche gains time to move into joint-second in Vuelta a Espana

Leader Chris Froome said: "He obviously did a great ride. He's in fantastic shape in La Vuelta, so congratulations to him."

Italian Matteo Trentin won stage 10 of La Vuelta, as Nicolas Roche moved into a share of second-place.

The day's racing failed to affect Chris Froome's position as leader of the general classification, but did see Roche gain 29 seconds to join Esteban Chaves behind Froome.
