Great Britain's Matt Brennan sprinted to victory in the second stage of the Vuelta a Espana on Sunday as overall race favourite Tadej Pogacar held on to the leader's red jersey.
The 21-year-old Brennan, riding his first Grand Tour, pounced in the final kilometres of the 214km ride from Monaco to Manosque to claim his first stage win.
Spaniard Pau Miquel Delgado of Bahrain Victorious came second, as UAE Team Emirates' Pogacar crossed the line in third.
Pogacar remains top of the general classification after winning Saturday's opening time trial by 0.09 seconds and will take a nine-second lead over second-place Wout van Aert into Monday's third stage.
Brennan moves up to third in the overall standings, 10 seconds behind Pogacar.
Britain's Ethan Hayter, who was pipped in the opening stage time trial by Pogacar, was part of a small early breakaway and looked set to take the overall lead after winning the final intermediate sprint for six bonus seconds. However, the 27-year-old fell behind and crossed the line 31 seconds off the lead, leaving him 13th in the general classification.
After finishing third in the opening stage just eight days after his brother Finlay lost his life in a crash, Britain's Josh Tarling came 125th.
