ALTO DE MONCALVILLO, Spain:<\/strong> Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d has taken a big step towards winning a fourth Spanish Vuelta title after claiming the race lead from Ben O’Connor with two stages left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogli\u010d entered Stage 19 five seconds behind O\u2019Connor but the Australian could not keep up as his rival powered uphill to the finish atop the category-one Alto de Moncalvillo in northern Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogli\u010d\u2019s 15th career stage win at his favourite race left him with a commanding lead of 1 minute, 54 seconds over O\u2019Connor. Enric Mas is third overall, 2:20 behind. Richard Carapaz is 2:54 behind and within striking range of the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogli\u010d won the 173.5-km stage that started in Logro\u00f1o in 3 hours, 54 minutes. David Gaudu was second, while O\u2019Connor finished 12th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Connor had led the three-week race since the Australian won Stage 6 and established a lead of nearly five minutes over Rogli\u010d. But Rogli\u010d has since taken successive bites out of that advantage before moving ahead with his third stage win of this edition of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday’s 20th stage is a gruelling mountain ride of 172-km over seven categorised peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vuelta concludes on Sunday with a time trial in Madrid. (AP)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
