Ayuso pounces to win Giro stage seven, Roglic takes pink jersey
The first mountain stage of the race, a 168km ride from Castel di Sangro to Tagliacozzo, came down to Ayuso having the legs to get away from his rivals in the final 400 metres, with his UAE Team-Emirates colleague Isaac del Toro coming second.
Colombian Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) was third, denying Roglic (Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe) a place on the podium, but the Slovenian did take the pink leader's jersey from Mads Pedersen, with the Dane losing touch on the final climb.

It was a pleasure to take part in the Mic Morris Torfaen 10k again
It was a pleasure to run alongside a thousand other runners again this year, despite a rather warm day adding to the physical challenge! So many of my fellow runners told me how much they enjoyed the beautiful route down our valley, starting in my hometown of Blaenavon and finishing in wonderful Pontypool Park. A huge thank you to the organisers, volunteers and everyone who lined the route and cheered us on. The encouragement always gives runners some extra determination to keep going. It's been good to see other events in Pontypool Park this summer too, and I look forward to the cycling Tour of Britain starting in the park and finishing above Blaenavon on September 6. It's a huge honour to have the premier professional cycling race in Britain come to Torfaen. I look forward to welcoming cycling fans and to helping promote our area. It's also a chance for us to say a local thank you to Welsh legend Geraint Thomas, who'll be riding his last race before retiring after a long and hugely successful career. In an earlier Argus column, I committed to organising an apprenticeship fair in Torfaen, and was delighted to deliver this alongside employers, schools and training providers. Thank you to Coleg Gwent for hosting the fair, to the organisations who attended and to the local high schools who turned up with pupils. Pupils spoke to more than 20 employers and training providers about opportunities, including Torfaen companies like Pro Steel Engineering and GOS Tool and Engineering Services. Apprenticeships provide valuable skills and build the foundations of successful careers, yet sometimes young people don't know what the options are for them. I hope I can repeat and build on this successful event next year. I was delighted to hear from Huw Irranca-Davies that Welsh Government are putting aside £5 million to help safeguard our historic canal. I want to pay tribute to local groups like Bridge 46 to Five Locks, who've campaigned so hard alongside the Canal and River Trust, Lynne Neagle MS, Torfaen councillors and myself to try to resolve the water supply issues. Hopefully now we can secure a sustainable future for the canal. Local groups like Bridge 46 to Five Locks are taking massive strides to help improve the Mon and Brec, volunteering and lobbying to promote the importance of the canal. What strikes me is how many different people use the canal and towpath for so many activities, from boating to paddleboarding to walking dogs, keeping fit by running or walking or just getting outside to enjoy their local environment. Long may it continue. I was pleased to visit local business Wiltan this week. It is a leading manufacturer and supplier of strip wound cores in electrical steels and cut laminations, and sells its products across international markets. Like many Torfaen businesses, it has a great reputation for what it does. It was good to talk with the business about how we can support it to export. As local MP I'm always keen to help Torfaen firms unlock their potential to bring jobs and investment to our community, so if you would like to explore the export support services provided by the UK government, please do get in touch. Nick Thomas-Symonds is MP for Torfaen
