For
Kaden Groves, it's already a second Green jersey from
Vuelta a Espana in his collection. Yet the disparity between his two triumphs couldn't be more obvious. While last year the
Alpecin-Deceuninck sprinter was unrivaled for the Points Classificaiton, this time the victory quite literally fell into his lap after the abandon of
Wout van Aert who seized full control in the competition until his crash.
The Australian emphasizes this speaking to the organisers after the final time trial: "I think it’s quite a lot different, actually last year was a different experience collecting points. This year, obviously, Wout van Aert crashed out and left me with the jersey so it’s a bittersweet victory."
