(Reuters) - Chris Froome rebounded superbly to increase his overall lead in the Vuelta a Espana to one minute 37 seconds with a lightning late attack which left nearest challenger Vincenzo Nibali in his wake on Thursday's 18th stage.
After a disappointing day on Wednesday when his overall lead was cut by 42 seconds, Froome reasserted his dominance and edged closer to becoming the first rider in 39 years to win the Vuelta and the Tour de France in the same season.
