Dan Martin retained his fourth place with a strong time trial performance on stage 13 of the Vuelta a Espana but could not make any inroads on the podium places.

The Irish rider, of the Israel Start-Up Nation team, finished 13th over the 33km route from Muros to Mirador de Ezaro, which was pancake flat until a final climb 2km from the finish.
