"Spain's Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) outsprinted compatriot Javier Romo (Movistar) to win stage 12 of the Vuelta a Espana on Thursday, his second stage win of this year's race, with Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) retaining the overall lead."
"Palestine flags were in evidence again after protests had brought Wednesday's stage to a premature end but the race passed without serious incident while the Israel-Premier Tech team have said pulling out of this year's Vuelta would set a dangerous precedent in the sport of cycling in reaction to the incidents on stage 11."
"Ayuso, meanwhile, who went solo to win stage seven, had Romo for company for the final 25km of the 144.9km ride from Laredo to Los Corrales de Buelna, after the pair got away from a large leading group, and timed his final move to perfection to overtake Romo close to the line."
"There was no change at the top of the general classification, with Vingegaard maintaining his 50secs lead over Portugal's Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) with Briton Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) a further six secs back in third."
Juan Ayuso outsprinted Javier Romo to win stage 12 of the Vuelta a España, marking his second stage victory of the race. The pair broke away from a large leading group and rode together for the final 25km of the 144.9km stage from Laredo to Los Corrales de Buelna, with Ayuso timing his final move to overtake Romo close to the line. Brieuc Rolland finished 13 seconds behind in third after threatening to bridge in the closing kilometres, while Jonas Vingegaard finished safely in the peloton over six minutes later. Vingegaard maintained a 50-second overall lead over Joao Almeida, with Tom Pidcock a further six seconds back. Palestine flags reappeared after protests had ended the previous stage early, but the stage passed without serious incident and Israel-Premier Tech said withdrawal would set a dangerous precedent.
