As it happened: Breakaway takes surprise victory on hectic stage 11

Refresh

Hola and welcome to Cy🍨clingnews' live coverage of stage 11 of La Vuelta a꧋ España!

Today's stage starts and finishes in the concello of P🐷adrón, with 166.5km of hilly racing i🃏n between.

Padrón has already hosﷺted two Vuelta stages, both time trials in 1993 and in 2021.

The riders have already been through the sign-on and team presentation this morn☂ing so are preparing for the neutralised start.

We might've predicted it being a day for the breakaway or the GC men, but don't write off Wout van Aert making it a fourth, and a back-to-back, s⭕tage win in Padrón later if he manages to keep pace on the climbs.

The riders have gone for their unoffici꧋al start for stage 11.

Ther🦄e's 5.🀅8km of neutralised road before the flag is dropped.

We've had three casualties this mornin💖g ahead of♏ the stage start.

It means that thereဣ are 156 riders, out of an original 176, left in the race.

Here's stage 11 getting underway moments ago...

While we waitꩵ for the flag drop, here's how yesterday's stage unfolded.

And the official start is given. We're racing!

DSM-Firmenich PostNL's Julius van den Berg is the first to make an attac🍸k but he'ꦕs swiftly reeled in.

We're already 7km th🐽rough the stage, with aꦬ high pace being set as riders vie for the breakaway.

Next to try their luck is Pablo Castrillo, but it's not to be✃ 🧸for the Equipo Kern Pharma rider just yet.

The foot of the first categorisedꦗ climb of the day is 17km down the road.

Still no signs of a clear cut break. Lots of teams battling for it, but nꦏo one's managed to ♒make a move stick.

Five riders have managed to force a small break.

Strangely, the s🔯tage will go through the finish line for the first time today after just 67km. 

The small group of riders that attempted to form a breakaway was actua💝lly eight-man strong, however they've since been reeled in.

The peloton, altogether still, has reached the base💛 of the Puerto San Xusto.

Another set of attack⭕s on the climb, but nothiꦜng is sticking so far.

Just to bring everyone up to speed on the overall standings, Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) leads the way with a 3:53 gap over Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).

130km to go

Marco Frigo (Israel-Premier Tech) holds a 20 second 🐲lead on the peloton.

He's currently tailed by Sam Oℱomen (Lidl-Trek), Luca Vergallito (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Louis Meintjes (Intermaché-Wanty) and Urko Berrade (Equipo Kern Pharma) who sit 𒅌10 seconds behind the lone leader.

Chris Harper (Team Jayco AlUla) has been fo♎rced to abandon the race.

Fine margin🧸s between the bunch and the attackers currently. 

KOM (Puerto San Xusto)

Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) swiftly attacks ✤on the descent. 

The TT specialist holds a lead ꦬof 19 seconds cur𓆉rently.

Thibault Guernalec (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) has set off in chase, sitting halfway between the leader and 𓂃the bunch.

The Frenchman is tagged. 

Jhonatan Narváez (Ineos Grenadiers), who has been very active toᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚday,🍸 is attempting to join up with the Belgian.

The gap from Campenae🤡rts to the peloton is now 40 seconds.

Attacks aplenty from the peloton. 

It's pretty chaotic at the fꦑront of the 🤪race right now, several groups trying to make their moves stick.

100km to go

The race passes through the finish line 🌞for the first of three times, still the break isn't set in sto🍬ne.

C🅰amp﷽enaerts has been caught by the two chasing groups.

Guillaume Martin (Cofid✅is) is the breakaway rider with the best positioning in t🍎he GC standings. 

A crash for Richard Carapaz. 

Arjen Livyns has accelerated away froℱm th♛e leading pack. 

Another group of five riders are attempting to bridge acr🍷oss the the leading pack. 

It looks like our breakaway is set for today.

Just when it looked like the break was calming down, Xandro Meurisse (A𓃲lpecin-Deceuninck) pushes on up the climb.

Meurisse has made his move look effortless. 

The gap b😼ack the peloton꧑ has gone out to over six minutes now.

A quick bike change for Ben O'Connor. He 🌳seems very calm as he hops off onღe bike and takes another from the team mechanic. 

KOM (Puerto Aguasantas)

Speaking of climbing, let's q🗹uickly recap the KOM standings.

Adam Yates holds the jᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚersey currently, tied on 22 points with green jersey owner Wout van Aert.

La Vuelta sharing some views of the incredible Galician scene༺ry on show during stage 11.

Of course, we couldn't go a whole stage in Galicia without talking about s🍸ome of their cuisine, and with the stage starting and finish💃ing in Padrón, we had to mention the peppers!

Padrón peppers, also known as Pimiento de Padrón or Herbón p🐻eppers, are a common tapas dish. 

George Bennet♔t is ♉up to fifth in the virtual GC. 

We menꦇtioned earlier that La Vuelta visited Padr&o꧑acute;n in 2021, on the final stage of that year's edition.

Israel-Premier Tech have 😼two riders at the head of the chasing group attempting to reel in Meurisse but he's holding firmꦕ impressively.

The Israel-ꦚPr🦩emier Tech riders in the break are setting a really tough pace, with riders going backwards now.

10 riders have ꦏbeen dropped from the main chasing group. Meurisse still leads by just under a minute, though.

For a second time t♛oday, we're just a kilometre from the top of the Puerto Aguasantas.

The climb has split the chasing pack into three.

KOM (Puerto Aguasantas)

The gap back to the peloton is pushing out towards seven minutes, whi🌞le Meurisse holds a 40 second advantage.

40km to go

The gap to Meurisse has dwindled, with just 25 seconds between the lone leader and the chasers꧅ now﷽.

Some interesting news coming out of 👍the UAE Team Emirates at La V🎃uelta earlier today.

Just over 10km until the intermed💯iate ꩲsprint at O Sisto.

Meanwhile, Xandro Meurisse has been caught.

Eight of the 33 riders in𒅌 the breakaway have won a Grand Tour stage before today.

Xabier I🐠sasa has punched out with 28.5km remaining.

Mechanical issue for Nico Denz𒆙 (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).

Intermediate sprint (O sisto)

25km to go

The Puerto Cruxeiras m♉ight only be 2.8km in lengt♕h but it averages 9%, with two 600m segments sitting at 11.1% and 10% respectively.

There's not just Lജa Vuelta on the agenda today, by the way.

We've still got 32 riders in the breaꦦk𒁏 as we approach the final climb.

DSM-Firmenich PostNL are no🅰w setting the pace as we wind up to the climb.

🍸Victor Campenaerts has gone to 🅷the front of the leading group and split it in two purely down to the pace he's setting. 

10km to go

Urko Berrade and Gijs Leemreize are both keeping 𓂃up with Ver🌞ona.

Meanwhile, back in the bunch and Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe are hammering it as the climb comes into sight. Could Roglič be plotting an attack?

Ben O'Connor is isolated ꧋at th🌠e front of the bunch. 

There's a gap forming in the peloton and Roglič takes full advantage.

The trio of leaders are over the summit now.

Ben O'Connor is being distanced from ye🍌t more GC contenders. 

Less than 3km to go. 

Jhonatඣan Nar💦váez is also there, with four riders leading by a slender margin.

The chase group looks set to bridge across, it'🃏ll likely be a reduced sprint.

1km to go

Late flyer from ꦑEddie Dunba𓆏r and it looks like he'll make it stick!

The Irishman puts his head i𒉰n his hands in sheer disbelief as he crosses the line to win stage 11 of the Vuelta a Espa&ntild🎉e;a!

Its a first top-level win for Dunbar in Team 🌱Jayco AlUla colours.

Meanwhile, further back, Roglič continues to power home in a bid to cut the gap on GC.

Roglič crosses the line 3:30 back. What sized dent can he put into Ben O'Connor?

O'Connor crosses the line 38 seconds later. 

A꧋mazingly, it's only his third win on the road during Eddie Dunbar's career.

Some quotes from today's stage winner, Eddie Dunbar (Team Jayco ꧙A𒀰lUla):

Here's the stage standings from today.

Some more quotes from Dunbar:

After a solid effort in todܫay's breakaway that has seen him move up the GC standings, George Bennett (Israel-Premier Tec🌌h) said:

The GC standings are now in, with Carlos Rodríguez being the biggest mover - from ninth to sixth, and just two minutes back from Primož Roglič. 

Ineos Grenadiers' Carlos Rodríguez finds himself moving into the white jersey🌸 today too.
