MADRID (Reuters) - Riders in the Vuelta a Espana on Sunday criticised a change to the time gap rule implemented by UCI judges at the end of Friday's stage 10, which led to a change in the overall leader.

The peloton held a short protest at the start of Saturday's stage 11 to express their disagreement with the change, which saw Primoz Roglic overtake Richard Carapaz as leader, and on Sunday released a joint statement.
