Rudy Molard was dropped quickly on the last climb, and it was clear that his days in red were over. Surprisingly, Kwiatkowski and Valverde were unable to compete with the rest of the GC contenders as well, and were dropped later on. In the end, it was Simon Yates who claimed the red jersey. He finished only 9 seconds behind Quintana\u2019s group and 15 seconds ahead of Valverde. That means he now holds a one-second lead over Alejandro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t expected for me to be in the leader\u2019s jersey at the end of the stage today. I was just trying to follow the best guys in the race and I was a little bit behind by a few secs, so it is a bit of a surprise&#8230; A good surprise,\u201d Yates said after the stage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LaVuelta18?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LaVuelta18<\/a> Looking good in red \u2764\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SimonYatess?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SimonYatess<\/a> \ud83d\ude0d<br \/>\ud83d\udcf7 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GettyImages?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GettyImages<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hslM7Tu9Si\">pic.twitter.com\/hslM7Tu9Si<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; GreenEDGE Cycling (@GreenEDGEteam) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GreenEDGEteam\/status\/1036301056613990406?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<h3><strong>GC after stage 9<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1 Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) 36:54:52<br \/>\n2 Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) + 1s<br \/>\n3 Nairo Quintana (Movistar Team) + 14s<br \/>\n4 Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) + 16s<br \/>\n5 Ion Izagirre (Bahrain-Merida) + 17s<br \/>\n6 Tony Gallopin (AG2R La Mondiale) + 24s<br \/>\n7 Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana Pro Team) + 27s<br \/>\n8 Rigoberto Uran (EF Education First-Drapac) + 32s<br \/>\n9 Steven Kruijswijk (LottoNL-Jumbo) + 43s<br \/>\n10 George Bennett (LottoNL-Jumbo) + 48s<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Beer?
