Chris Froome (Team Sky) destroys Vuelta a Espana stage 16 individual Time Trial field in Logrono, Spain.

 Chris Froome extends his overrall lead after putting more time on his rivals and keeps red leaders jersey.

Alberto Contador (Trek Segafredo) came home fifth on the stage and moved up to fifth on GC.

 Romain Bardet (AG2R la Mondiale) crashed and was forced to change into road bike.

 There was an air of inevitability as the sun beat down on the Vuelta, and the remaining riders warmed up for the first test after Monday’s rest day. Chris Froome took up his position on Team Sky’s new juggernaut, tapping away on the rollers as one-by-one riders siphoned off from the start-ramp.
