Ireland's Eddie Dunbar (Team Jayco Alula) hung on to win stage 20 of the Vuelta a Espana on Saturday, his second stage success, with three-times former champion Primoz Roglic coming in third and extending his overall lead.

Dunbar, who also won stage 11, took off in pursuit of the leader Pavel Sivakov with five kilometres to the finish on the final climb of this year's Vuelta to Picon Blanco and went on to hold off the chasing group after overtaking the Frenchman.
