Chris Froome wins Vuelta stage 19

The Race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Chris Froome (Sky) hammered his rivals to win the Vuelta's final time trial to stay in contention for the title after cutting Nairo Quintana's lead down to 1:21. The Tour de France champion, second in GC, clocked a best time of 46:33. Contador, who finished almost two minutes behind Froome, is now third overall while Esteban Chaves (Orica-Bike Exchange) slipped down to fourth after losing over three minutes. The title will be decided in Saturday's 20th stage, a gruelling mountain stage to the Alto Aitana.

On a technical course featuring a few smoothly uphill sections, Yves Lampaert (Etixx-Quick Step) set the first reference time in 47:59. Silvan Dillier (BMC), who was looking to end up among the best, saw his hopes vanish into thin air after a crash in the final u-turn. Jonathan Castroviejo (Movistar), fourth in the Olympics time trial, lived up to expectations when he clocked 47:17.

At the first intermediate point (km 12.5), there is already a clear hierarchy between the main favourites. Froome (17:32) is ahead of Contador (18:03) and Quintana (18:18) while Chaves (18:18) is already far behind. Around the halfway point, Froome whizzed past Chaves.

The Briton continued to crush the pedals and clocked 31:08 at the second intermediate point (km 24.3), leading Contador by 1:12, Quintana by 1:33 and Chaves by a massive 2:14.

Meanwhile, Samuel Sanchez (BMC), who was defending his place in the top 10 in GC, crashed and crossed the line far off the pace.

While Froome still has a chance to win the Vuelta, Contador, who is now 3:43 behind Quintana, only has a slim hope to win a fourth title. Chaves is fourth overall 4:54 behind the Colombian while Andrew Talansky (Cannondale-Drapac) is now in the top 5 at the expense of Simon Yates (Orica-Bike Exchange).

Organizer's stage 19 preview: For the first time, the Vuelta will hold an Individual Time Trial in the second-last stage. 37km between Javea and Calpe, along the Mediterranean Coast that will surely be beautiful for the public to watch. It will be a very technical time trial, which will not make much of a difference to the general classification, keeping in mind that there is still another mountain stage ahead.

The route will be favorable for rouleurs and time trial specialists, who will have the chance to obtain a stage victory.
