Remco Evenepoel's bid to claim a repeat victory in the Vuelta a España appears to be over after the Belgian was dropped 87.3km from the end of stage 15, a mountainous run to the Col du Tourmalet.

Evenepoel was dropped from the Jumbo-Visma-led peloton along with UAE Team Emirates co-leader João Almeida on the day’s second climb, the category 1 Col de Aubisque.
