Nairo Quintana (Movistar) secured the overall honours in the Vuelta a Burgos after finishing in second place in the final stage, a 12.45 kilometre time trial in Aranda de Duero. The Giro d’Italia winner finished one second behind stage winner Aleksejs Saramotins (IAM Cycling), with Imanol Erviti (Movistar) a further second down, over the predominantly flat course.

"I knew Dani Moreno was going to be hard to beat - he might as well be a rival in the Vuelta," Quintana said after the stage. "I wasn't expecting to do such a good time, either. I started off calm, confident, and I took this TT also as a test for the Vuelta. I'm leaving this region happy with how I did - good form building up before the upcoming three weeks.

Quintana’s performance was enough to nudge ahead of overnight race leader Daniel Moreno (Katusha), who had taken the race lead with one stage to go. The Spaniard finished second overall at three seconds, with Astana’s Janez Brajkovic in third, 55 second down on Quintana.
