PLATAFORMA DE GREDOS, Spain (Reuters) - Slovenian Primoz Roglic is poised to win the Vuelta a Espana after retaining the leader's red jersey on Saturday as his compatriot Tadej Pogacar won the decisive stage 20 in the mountains with a stunning display of solo climbing.

Barring a crash in Sunday's final stage from Fuenlabrada to the centre of Madrid, the 29-year-old will earn his first Grand Tour victory and become the fist Slovenian to win one of cycling's three biggest races.
