Kaden Groves loses main leadout in Robbe Ghys at Vuelta a Espana
CyclingFriday, 08 September 2023 at 11:15
Alpecin-Deceuninck have been the most dominant team in the Vuelta a Espana's sprints. Although having a modest leadout, the lack of top competition has allowed Kaden Groves to win the first two sprints and lead the points classification, however his leadout man Robbe Ghys abandoned the race this morning due to a saddle sore.
"I'm disappointed to have to leave the Vuelta like this. My body had recovered fine after the crash last week, but my saddle soreness doesn't allow me to continue. Today I fly home, Monday I will have surgery," Ghys said. "I was part of a top team, could show myself at the highest level and contribute to the stage wins of our leader Kaden Groves. I thank Alpecin-Deceuninck for this unforgettable experience and wish my teammates good luck in the remainder of this Vuelta."

- Hard to believe with the advancment of modern medicine he can not find a cause for this.frieders321-12-2024
- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
