Richard Carapaz rode into the leader’s red jersey at the Vuelta a Espana on Sunday as Ion Izagirre took the stage win on a cold and rainy day on the Formigal.

As the Ineos Grenadiers were still digesting news of Tao Geoghegan Hart’s remarkable victory in the Giro d’Italia, last year’s Giro winner Carapaz gave them even more reason to celebrate as he attacked to take 43 seconds out of Primoz Roglic and seize control of the race before Monday’s rest day.
