Elissonde wins Vuelta 20th stage, Horner extends lead
Chris Horner extended his Spanish Vuelta lead to 37 seconds in Saturday's penultimate stage.
ALTO DE L'ANGLIRU (AFP) - American Chris Horner moved to within touching distance of his first ever grand tour victory as he extended his lead of the Tour of Spain to 37 seconds in Saturday's penultimate stage.
Frenchman Kenny Elissonde took the 142.2km 20th stage from Aviles to Alto de L'Angliru ahead of Horner in second and Alejandro Valverde in third.
Italian Vincenzo Nibali couldn't live with Horner's final attack and finished 28 seconds behind the 41-year-old in fourth, meaning the Radioshack rider should be able to cruise to victory in the procession around Madrid on Sunday.
