Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal) used his Classics skills to win the uphill, cobbled finish at Alcalá de los Gazules Saturday at Ruta del Sol, surging away from Mikel Landa (Movistar) to win the stage and gaining enough time on Wout Poels (Team Sky) to also take the overall race lead.

Wellens: I'm not leading the Ruta del Sol by chance

The break of the day was caught as the gradient kicked up at 19 per cent and then Landa and Wellens took control. They opened a gap on the narrow lane and then Wellens kicked away on the final section to win by five seconds. Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) was third at 12 seconds, with Poels at 13 seconds.

Wellens took the leader's red jersey and now leads Landa by seven seconds, with Poels slipping to third at 11 seconds.

The final overall winner will be decided in Sunday's 14.2km individual time trial on a loop near Barbate.

Chris Froome suffered a late puncture and lost any chance of overall success in his first race since his salbutamol case emerged.

How it unfolded

A move of 13 riders went away early in the stage, but the move split as Guillaume Martin (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) and teammate Marco Minaard attacked in tandem and crested the first climb together.

They were soon joined by Ramon Carretero (Movistar), Sep Vanmarcke (EF Education First-Drapac) and Andrey Amador (Movistar) to form a lead group of five,

The determined chase behind from Team Sky, Astana, Lotto-Soudal and EF Education First-Drapac pressured the leaders, and the breakaway split again as Vanmarcke and Amador went clear with about 50km remaining.

The lead duo had 2:30 on the pack with 35km to go, but the exposed roads and climbs helped the bunch cut into the lead, which was down to just over a minute with 20km to go.

The run in to the rough cobbled climb to the finish proved too much for the escapees, as the Sky- and Astana-led bunch reeled them in just as the road turned upward toward the finish.

Landa and Wellens jumped away form the bunch just inside the final kilometre, where Landa attacked first but Wellens countered for the win.
