I was closing him slowly and at the corner it was time to open the sprint."The peloton, featuring Pedersen's compatriot Vingegaard and the other main contenders, finished 13-and-a-half minutes after the winner crossed the line.After a rest day on Monday, the race resumes with stage 16 on Tuesday, a 167.9km with another medium mountain stretch from Poio to Castro de Herville.Vuelta a Espana stage 15 result1.
