Jimenez picked up a trophy earlier in the Tour

Eladio Jimenez won the 14th stage of the Tour of Spain from La Penilla to Lagos de Covadonga on Saturday.

The Spaniard, who was also a stage winner in last year's Tour of Spain, attacked on the final climb and finished over a minute clear.

Inigo Cuesta came home second, followed by Gilberto Simoni and Carlos Sastre.

Tour favourite Roberto Heras failed to pick up any time on Russian Denis Menchov of the Rabobank team who still holds the overall race lead.
