Magnus Nielsen nails the 2016 Vuelta's final stage

The Race: Here's the organizer's telling of the 2016 Vuelta's final stage.

Nairo Quintana (Movistar) claimed his second Grand Tour title when he won the Vuelta a España on Sunday after a fierce battle with his biggest rival Chris Froome (Sky) as the final stage was won by Denmark's Magnus Cort Nielsen (Orica-Bike Exchange). His fellow Colombian Esteban Chaves rounded off the podium after overtaking Alberto Contador (Tinkoff), the race's most aggressive rider, in Saturday's final mountain stage. Omar Fraile (Dimension Data) won the polka dot jersey for the mountain classification while Fabio Felline (Trek-Segafredo) clinched the green jersey for the points classification and BMC took the teams classification.

Quintana and his team mates enjoyed a glass of ‘cava' at the back of the peloton at the start of the stage, ridden at a leisurely pace. José Joaquin Rojas (Movistar) was the only non starter after sustaining a leg fracture in Saturday's final mountain stage.

Christian Knees (Sky) was the first rider to attack in the streets of Madrid.

The first real break took shape after Loic Chetout (Cofidis) jumped away from the pack, followed by Peter Kennaugh (Sky), Quentin Jauregui (ag2r-La Mondiale) and Koen Bouwmann (LottoNL-Jumbo).

The fugitives built a 1:05-advantage over the peloton led by Giant-Alpecin.

All the teams interested in a bunch sprint contributed to the chase. Chetout was the last rider to be reined in five kilometres from the line.

Orica-Bike Exchange went in the front of the bunch inside the final kilometre, perfectly setting up Nielsen for his second stage win in the race. Daniele Bennati (Tinkoff) was second and Gianni Meersman (Etixx-Quick Step) came home third.

Vuelta stage 21 profile

Vuelta stage 21 photos by Fotoreporter Sirotti:

Looks like a nice day for a bike race in Madrid

But it turned into a twilight race

Race leader Quintana with Alejandro Valverde close by

The 2016 Vuelta has less than a meter to go

And the stage goes to Orica's Magnus Cort Nielsen

Who is justifiably well-pleased

Quintana is the 2016 Vuelta a España winner

Stage winner Magnus Cort Nielsen

BMC won the team prize

Alberto Contador with his combativity prize

Points classification winner Fabio Felline

Mountains classification winner Omar Fraile

And the big winner, Nairo Quintana

The final podium celebrates. From left: Chris Froome (2nd), Nairo Quintana and Johan Esteban Chaves (3rd).

Organizer's stage 21 preview: End of the race with a circuit-style stage through the streets of Madrid. The 20 days of hard work and suffering will be rewarded by this final Madrid stage that will bring the Vuelta a España's 71st edition to an end. It will be a good day for sprinters, one that pays tribute to the peloton after completing three intense weeks of racing.
