VIDEO: Kaden Groves stage 7 hopes ended at La Vuelta after coming together with Nairo Quintana

With stage 7 heading towards a thrilling finale, Kaden Groves had battled hard on the day's only climb to stay in the mix. Having done all the hard work however, the Australian hopes may now have been dashed.

Right at the top of the climb, there was still 25km to go on the stage and the race was in absolute bits. Groves was in the second group and wasn't too far away from the front, but as he summitted the climb, the Australian clipped the wheel of Nairo Quintana and hit the deck hard. Whilst he was able to regroup and remount, his stage win hopes looked over.
