Mas boosts Spanish Vuelta lead as Roglič falls further behind
SIERRA DE LA PANDERA, Spain (AP) — Enric Mas expanded his lead in the Spanish Vuelta on the 14th mountainous stage, won by Marco Brenner, as Primož Roglič fell further behind. Mas gained 25 seconds on his advantage over Roglič after Roglič dropped and linked up with team mate Raúl García. Félix Gall was in second place, 2 minutes, 6 seconds behind Mas.
Brenner claimed the grueling 151.9-kilometer stage, his first win at a Grand Tour, with a time of 4 hours, 15 minutes, 9 seconds. The hot weather in southern Spain continued, prompting organizers to shorten Sunday's 15th stage to protect riders' health.
