Alberto Dainese prevailed in a bunch sprint finale to stage 19 at the 2023 Vuelta a Espana, despite the fact many of his teammates were caught up in a late crash.
Battered, bloodied and bruised, the Team DSM-Firemenich riders who'd hit the deck received news of Dainese's victory whilst still receiving treatment at the roadside. That didn't stop them jumping for joy in celebration however!
