Dutchman Tom Dumoulin mounted a late surge that doubled his slender Tour of Spain advantage over closest rival Fabio Aru of Italy to six seconds after the 19th stage won by Frenchman Alexis Gougeard on Friday. Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin), a surprise contender at this year's Vuelta, now has just one more competitive stage to negotiate before Sunday's ceremonial finish into Madrid, a mountainous 176-km slog between San Lorenzo de El Escorial and Cercedilla on Saturday. The 24-year-old from Maastricht, who claimed the leader's red jersey with a scorching time trial on Wednesday, is close to a debut grand tour triumph but is sure to come under sustained pressure from Aru and his Astana team.
