• Team Sky’s Kwiatkowski takes leader’s red jersey
The 2009 red jersey winner, Alejandro Valverde of Movistar, rolled back the years at the Vuelta a España on Sunday, beating Team Sky’s Michal Kwiatkowski in an uphill sprint to be crowned king of the Caminito del Rey.
However, Kwiatkowski’s second runners-up placing in two days was enough to see him take the overall lead, as a dominant Team Sky looked untroubled by the absence of Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas.
