Tom Dumoulin (Giant – Alpecin) won the 6th and final stage of this year’s Vuelta al Pais Vasco today – an 18.3 kilometer individual time trial in Aia.
Meanwhile, Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha) claimed the overall victory, with Sergio Henao (Team Sky) and Jon Izagirre (Movistar) rounding out the podium in 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Race Highlights
Dumoulin ultimately set the fastest time of 28:46 around today’s hilly ITT.
In the meantime, Henao and Rodriguez both began today’s race with the same overall time. However, Rodriguez’s time of 28:50, served to give the Spanish rider the edge he needed over Henao, who finished 13 seconds behind, after struggling over the final steep slopes of the course.
Tejay van Garderen (BMC) was the fastest American, finishing just outside of the top 10 – with a time of 29:49.
