Rigoberto Urán held off Quentin Pacher and Jesús Herrada in a thrilling sprint finish to win stage 17 of the Vuelta a España on Wednesday as overall leader Remco Evenepoel maintained his advantage and edged closer to a maiden Grand Tour title.

Herrada, of Cofidis, looked set to win with under a kilometre to go before EF Education-EasyPost’s Urán chased him down with 200m remaining to claim his first Grand Tour stage victory since 2017.
