MADRID Spain (Reuters) - Australian Adam Hansen mounted a successful attack about four km from the finish to win the 19th stage at the Tour of Spain on Friday as Alberto Contador held on to the leader's red jersey with two stages remaining.

Lotto Belisol rider Hansen outsprinted Germany's John Degenkolb of Giant-Shimano in the final stretch of the 180.5-km trek into Cangas do Morrazo, with Italian Lampre Merida rider Filippo Pozzato third.
