Colombia's Esteban Chaves regained the lead of Spain's Vuelta by claiming his second victory of the race in Thursday's sixth stage.
Chaves attacked for the line with just over two kilometres left on the 200.3km ride from Cordoba to Sierra de Cazorla to take victory from Ireland's Dan Martin and overnight leader Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands in a time of 4hr 46min 16sec.
The Orica GreenEdge rider now holds a 10 second advantage over Dumoulin with Martin 33 seconds back in third.
Chris Froome and the Movistar duo of Nairo Quintana and Alejandro Valverde all finished with the same time 11 seconds back.
Froome, who is aiming to become just the third man to win the Tour de France and the Vuelta in the same year, is now 55 seconds behind Chaves in seventh.
Valverde remains fifth, 49 seconds back, with Quintana in ninth a further eight seconds behind.
