Chris Froome
Caminito del Rey - Arab Today
Colombian Esteban Chaves claimed the second stage of Spain's Vuelta as Tour de France champion Chris Froome lost four seconds to Nairo Quintana on Sunday.
Chaves edged out Dutchman Tom Dumoulin in a sprint finish to the 158.7km ride from Alhaurin de la Torre to Caminito del Rey in a time of 3hr 57min 15sec ahead of Ireland's Nicholas Roche in third.
Froome is attempting to become only the third man to win the Tour de France and the Vuelta in the same year, but Quintana took an early lead in the battle for the general classification victory as he came in one place ahead of Froome in sixth with a four-second advantage.
