The third and final Grand Tour of the year has been and gone, with the Vuelta a España drawing to a conclusion on Sunday with a final time trial around Madrid.
It was a thrilling race – a match for its Italian and French rivals in the three-week stakes – with a race-long duel between Ben O'Connor (Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale) and eventual winner Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hangrohe) for the GC, as well as a fascinating battle lower down the overall rankings and in the other classifications too.
