Kaden Groves wins Stage 5!! 🇦🇺🏆 𝘿𝙍𝘼𝙈𝘼 at the finish line 🍿 #LaVuelta | @kaden_groves
Kaden Groves has once again lived up to the tag of pre-stage favourite to secure himself a second straight stage win at the Vuelta a Espana in Burriana.
The main rival for the Australian sprint ace from Alpecin-Deceuninck was something of a surprise on this occasion, INEOS Grenadiers' world-renowned time-trialist, Filippo Ganna. Groves was the first to open his sprint and was always in the lead, but Ganna's late charge was an incredibly powerful one. Had the line been a further ten or fifteen metres he could have had it but it wasn't and Groves held on for the victory.
Check out the final sprint in the video below!
