MADRID (Reuters) - Slovenia's Primoz Roglic won his fourth Vuelta a Espana title on Sunday after retaining his overall lead in the final stage of the race, a 24.6 km individual time-trial in Madrid which was won by Stefan Kung.

Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe's Roglic reclaimed the red jersey from Ben O'Connor with a devastating solo attack on stage 19 on Friday and the Slovenian rider never looked back as he equalled Spaniard Roberto Heras's record of four Vuelta wins.
