Russian Tops Indurain

Vyacheslav Yekimov of Russia won the six-stage Tour of Valencia despite a strong challenge in the final time-trial from Spain's Miguel Indurain.


Yekimov recorded an overall time of 24 hours, 34 minutes and six seconds, with Indurain 10 seconds back in second place and Switzerland's Tony Rominger third.


Indurain showed his strength with a win in Sunday's time-trial, his first stage success of the season, one second ahead of both Rominger and Yekimov who finished second and third respectively.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
