Cycling: The New Zealander George Bennett put in the work for his JumboVisma team but it just missed claiming the second stage of the Vuelta a Espana yesterday.

Bennett set the pace over the later part of the 151km hilly stage for lead rider Primoz Roglic, but the team was pipped by Spanish rider Marc Soler.

Roglic finished second to extend his overall lead to 9sec. Bennett finished 10th and is now eighth overall, 56sec behind Roglic. — RNZ
