FARO DE ESTACA DE BARES. MANON, Spain (Reuters) - Spanish rider Jesus Herrada became the overall leader of the Vuelta a Espana on Thursday while Frenchman Alexandre Geniez won stage 12 with a nail-biting sprint at the finish line to pip Team Sky's Dylan van Baarle to victory.
Cofidis rider Herrada, 28, took the red jersey from Briton Simon Yates after joining a second breakaway group which finished two minutes 32 seconds behind Geniez and over nine minutes ahead of Yates and the other general classification hopefuls.
