BARCELONA: Spaniard Alejandro Valverde sealed a second Tour of Catalonia title in style by claiming the seventh stage on Sunday to finish one minute and three seconds ahead of compatriot Alberto Contador in the general classification.
Spaniard Valverde, 36, pipped Colombian Jarlinson Pantano at the finish line to claim his third stage win in a week.
Valverde had launched a late attack alongside Irishman Daniel Martin with three kilometres to go of the 138.7km race around Barcelona, which culminated with laps of Montjuic, the site of the 1992 Olympic Games village.
Valverde’s fellow Spaniard and Movistar teammate Marc Soler came third overall, 1:16 adrift.
Tour de France champion Chris Froome tried to salvage some pride after his poor display on the sixth stage with a late attack on the final lap.
