Warren Barguil takes second 2013 Vuelta a Espana stage win

Warren Barguil wins, Vuelta a Espana 2013, stage 16

Warren Barguil (Argos-Shimano) proved that his stage 13 win was no freak accident by attacking in the final 10km of stage 16 to take another victory on the race's final day in the Pyrenees. Behind, Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) was put under pressure by his overall rivals but clung onto the race lead.

Twenty-one year old Barguil had looked in good shape when he joined the day's large escape group, and picked his moment to attack on the final climb to the finish. He quickly opened up a gap as Rigoberto Uran (Sky) and Dominik Nerz (BMC) chased hard behind.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
