Magnus Cort held on from the break to win the sixth stage of Vuelta a España 2021 with Primož Roglič sprinting to second and returning into the red jersey of overall leader.

The crosswind finally reared its head as the race was ripped to pieces in the final 40km, but it wasn’t as decisive as the final climb up to the Alto de la Montaña de Cullera. It was Ineos Grenadiers who took up the chase of the break who hit the final climb with a slim advantage.
