Cycling-Dutchman Van Poppel recovers from puncture to win stage (Reuters)
Dutchman Danny van Poppel won the 12th stage of the Tour of Spain on Thursday despite suffering a puncture about 10-km from the finish line. The Trek Factory Racing rider was dropped by a speeding peloton but fought his way back and eventually prevailed against South African Daryl Impey (Origa GreenEDGE). Belgian Tosh van der Sande (Lotto-Soudal) came home third in the 173-km leg from Andorra to Lleida.
