Confirmation that Chaves jumped ahead of Contador and into third place with his attack. The Colombian finished the stage in ninth place, 3:17 down on Latour but almost one and a half minutes ahead of the Spaniard. Chaves holds a 13-second lead over Contador now, so that third place on the podium looks to be his baring any disaster.

Quintana finished two seconds ahead of Froome to increase his overall lead over his rival to 1:23 ahead of tomorrow's processional stage into Madrid.

Quintana has a little dig at the finish to steal a few seconds off Froome, who claps his rival as he crosses the line. Nairo Quintana has won the Vuelta a Espana!

Latour out of the saddle as he leads Atapuma under the flamme rouge. Felline not out of is yet, either.

Felline has passed Frank and is closing in on Latour and Atapuma.

Meanwhile... Lopez has been dropped by Quintana and Froome again. The Briton is trying his best but he just cannot shake the Colombian.

Atapuma has a 1,000 yard stare and Latour is sweating a river. The Frenchman has put in numerous digs but to no avail. Behind, Frank rides a regular tempo and is not out of the picture just yet - especially with Fabio Felline riding back on...

Another big dig from Froome! Lopez cannot keep up with his team leader so it's just Quintana and Froome - the riders in red and white - out ahead. Lopez manages to ride back after a lull, so the Spaniard will be able to do some more pacing...
3.2km
Frank and Latour have not given up - they're only 10 metres behind Atapuma. It's anyone's stage now.

Now Froome attacks! Quintana goes with him. They catch Lopez, who will pace his leader for a while. Contador, Konig and Brambilla cannot keep up.
