Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana) nabbed his second stage victory of the 2017 Vuelta a España high up in the Sierra Nevada on Sunday's stage 15.
After Orica-Scott's Adam Yates opened up an advantage with an attack on the final climb, Lopez jumped away from the GC group with Trek-Segafredo's Alberto Contador before dropping the Spaniard and bridging to Yates alone. After closing down the Briton, Lopez pushed on solo and held off those in pursuit to take the win.
