Australian Jay Vine earns a memorable mountain-top triumph on the sixth stage of La Vuelta a España, but awful weather in Spain meant the moment he crossed the line was missed on the broadcast.

Amid the fog and driving rain on the mountain-top finish to the sixth stage at San Miguel de Aguayo, visibility was so wretched that TV cameras got no footage of the Queenslander earning the sensational first win of his professional career on Thursday. "With 70km to go, I missed the break [and] I had a flat tyre in the first five kilometres," Vine said.
"I've been working towards this all year after coming so close last year [in a couple of other stages of the 2021 Vuelta] and it's a dream come true."
