Irishman Philip Deignan of the Cervélo Test Team won the 18th stage at the Vuelta a España today, a 165km ride from Talavera de la Reina to Avila. He becomes the first Irishman to win a stage at a major tour since Stephen Roche's stage win at the 1992 Tour de France. Along with Nicolas Roche's (Stephen's son) good overall ride at the Tour, it's been a good year for Irish pros.Photo: JAIME REINA/AFP/Getty Images
