Cycling’s big stories this week come from the Vuelta a España, where 20-year-old Slovenian Jakob Omrzel claimed a breakthrough Stage 12 victory while Enric Mas strengthened his grip on the red jersey, leading Primož Roglič by 1:45. Attention now turns to Stage 13, with Wout van Aert chasing his first win of the race on a hilly course that could favour a breakaway. In Britain, Lewis Askey leads the Tour of Britain after winning Stage 1, while Tim Merlier took Stage 2 in a sprint at Skegness.

Pogačar’s crash blows La Vuelta wide open as Mas leads, Roglič chases history and cycling’s rising stars seize their moment.

After Pogačar's race-ending crash on stage eight of the Vuelta, Unclipped takes a closer look at what his exit really means for this year's race — and asks whether this is the kind of drama cycling should be celebrating.

Pogačar survives an off-road scare to tighten his grip on the Vuelta, Josh Tarling makes an emotional exit, and Australia’s Connor Wright conquers the mountain bike world.

The Vuelta is only a few days old, but the racing schema is taking place, and the dominance is already well and truly in force.
