Chris Froome still leads Vuelta a Espana as Matteo Trentin wins stage 10
Last updated on .From the section Cycling

Britain's Chris Froome maintained his lead in the Vuelta a Espana as Italy's Matteo Trentin won stage 10.
Trentin pulled clear of a 15-man breakaway to beat Jose Joaquin Rojas and Jaime Roson Garcia on the 164.8km ride from Caravaca to Alhama de Murcia.
The Quick-Step Floors rider has now won two stages of this year's Vuelta.
Froome retained his 36-second lead over Colombian Esteban Chaves, but Ireland's Nicolas Roche made up time and is now level with Chaves in second overall.
Having won his fourth Tour de France title earlier this year, Team Sky's Froome is looking to become the first man to achieve a Tour-Vuelta double in 39 years.
Trentin powered past Rojas to win the rain-hit stage, which ended with a thrilling descent of the Collado Bermejo.
"I really wanted it. I was thinking about this stage for a while because the climb was hard, but it was a steady grind," Trentin said.
"It was something that I can handle pretty well. I knew the downhill was really technical. For me it was good having Rojas in the front group because he was really, really good going down. I could just follow him."
Wednesday's stage takes the riders 187.5km from Lorca to Observatorio Astronomico de Calar Alto.

Nicholas Roche won't win.
Exceptionally judgemental. So if a 10 year old goes to the alps and buys a polka dot or yellow jersey it's out of order? Who made you jury as to what people can wear. What about someone with a sky shirt they haven't earned the right to wear it either, but they have the right to do so. You moan about lack of finance in cycling and shirt sales help put money in
You really awesome at being so flaming stupid and nothing but a creepy troll.
Great ride again by Team Sky and Froomey but beware of Roche creeping up.
I never mentioned anybody and what makes you think you can predict comments anyway!?
16 stone might pass for a pro footballer, but so does smoking and red bull at half time.
The next few days with the mountain top finishes should shake up the GC....hope Froome can gain some time on his rivals. And Roche for podium !!
I don't know what you mean by poster boy, but I've followed Nico Roche's riding since he was a neo pro. He's not in the bracket of his dad or even his cousin, but he's a good domestique, and it's nice to see him flexing his GC muscles after 4 or 5 years... wow, I can't believe it's been that long since he rode for himself. He's always liked this race.
Thank got the kit is lighter now!!
Calar Alto tomorrow. Don't worry, the Vuelta roadbook says it's only a medium mountain stage (!?).
I remember being near the top of Alp D'Huez during one of Big Migs wins, and the helicopter that beams the pictures was way below us....just incredible !!!
I love the Gavia and the Mortirolo in the Giro, the Pyrenees generally in the Tour, and Lagos Covadonga and Angliru in the Vuelta.
Makes Holme Moss look like a flat road!!
Sir Chris Hoy has just had to apologise for "body shaming" people without any sense of humour whatsoever.
I despair; I really do.
Drop the numbers from your name and there you have it.
That's exactly what you are!
The fatigue in a 3 week stage race is obviously cumulative, and some top 10 riders lost serious time today.
Its funny listening to the BBC news, the Vuelta was pronounced voo-oelta, and Bernard Hinault was Bernard Highnote !!
Next few days may see some huge gaps in the top 5.
