Afternoon all, it's the second week of what has already been a thrilling, tumultuous La Vuelta. Today, we have a time trial in Pau to contend with - which the geographically astute among you may have spotted, is not actually in Spain. The course is 36km long, contains a fair bit of up-down and round-the-houses, so promises to be lively and eventful from the start. First down the ramp is current last-placed rider, Lennard Hofstede of Jumbo-Visma in about 30 minutes.

My word, what a belter of a Vuelta.
Wrong again. Quintana has clung onto fourth by just a whisker.
Sorry, that's Lopez third, Pogacar fourth.
More than three minutes lost by Quintana there. That effectively puts him fourth on GC with, by my cigarette packet calculations, Valverde second, Pogacar third and Lopez fourth.
Roglic goes into red. Quintana slips out of the top three. He still hasn't finished.
With an air of grim inevitability, the camera pans to red jersey, Nairo Quintana, still ploughing on with a whopping 2.4km to go.
Lopez crosses 2'00" down.
Roglic passes the Colombian. Awesome power from the Slovenian.
It's a new best time for Roglic by 25 seconds. Absolutely huge.
Roglic is going to catch Lopez, who started with a two-minute head start. That's a killer psychological blow to be dealt by your closest rival.
Graphics are showing Lopez as 1'52" down on Roglic at the moment, as we see Valverde stop the clock in 48'43".

Pogacar is into the finishing hoardings. He has faded massively in the second half of the course and crosses 1'04" down on Bevin. We can expect Roglic to nudge past that time.
A strong day at the office for the young Slovenian, nevertheless.
That's about the size of it....
If Quintana cedes 19 more seconds to Pogacar he will have tumbled from first to fifth in the course of 36km.
Quintana sets a time of 35'19". That's 2'12" down on Roglic. He is all over his bike already, taking absolutely ages to take a drink from his water bottle. God he's making this look hard.
33'07". Roglic goes through Checkpoint Dos with 48 seconds on Pogacar, 58 on Valverde and 1'32" on Superman.
Struggling to get an exact time on Roglic at Checkpoint Dos but it was around 33 minutes.
Roglic absolutely hurtling through this course. He's hit Checkpoint Dos about 30 seconds after his two-minute man, Lopez.
34'01" for Valverde at Checkpoint Dos. Six seconds slower than Pogacar, but he's measured his effort much better than the less-experienced Slovenian.
Lopez follows hot on the World Champion's heels, setting a time of 34'39". He's down, but not as down as he could be.
Valverde should be next through Checkpoint Dos, while further back it looks from our telemetry like Roglic may have Miguel Angel Lopez in his sights.
Pogacar might just be fading here. At the second time check he's 29 seconds down on Bevin.
