There was no official winner of stage 11 of the Vuelta a España as officials announced late in the race that the GC times would be taken with three kilometres to go due to "incidents" involving protests at the finish line in Bilbao.
Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) made a searing attack over the final ascent, Alto de Pike, with 8.5km remaining, taking the valuable bonus seconds on offer, but he was soon joined by the overall race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) as the pair tried to gain as much time as possible before the neutralisation.
