Mads Pedersen wins hilly stage 13 in Montilla at Vuelta a España

Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) took a punchy sprint win in Montilla to claim victory on stage 13 of La Vuelta a España – beating Bryan Coquard into second place after chasing down a long sprint from Pascal Ackermann, who settled for third.

Major teams jostled for position on the shallow climb up to Montilla. Ineos Grenadiers played their part on the front coming into the last 2km, before Bahrain Victorious moved to position Fred Wright into the frame for his elusive stage win.
