Filippo Ganna won stage 18 of the Vuelta a España, a 12km individual time trial shortened from the initial 27km for safety reasons, in Valladolid.

The Ineos Grenadiers rider clocked 13:00, just 90 hundredths of a second ahead of Jay Vine and seven seconds ahead of Joao Almeida. Overall leader Jonas Vingegaard finished ninth, 18 seconds behind, 10 seconds behind Almeida.
