Madrid, Aug 31 (Ians) Kaden Groves of Alpecin-Deceuninck clinched his second sprint finish in two days, winning the fifth stage of the Vuelta a Espana.
Groves benefited from a stellar lead-out by his team. Even with Filippo Ganna of Ineos Grenadiers mounting a powerful finish, Groves managed to cross the line roughly a wheel-length ahead of the Italian, reports Xinhua.
The 186-kilometer stage profile, stretching from Morella to Burriana on Spain’s east coast, suggested a possible repeat of Tuesday’s sprint finish. However, the presence of a second-category climb 50 kilometers from the finish and another steep ascent 30km out also provided opportunities for breakaway attempts.
Eduardo Sepulveda of Lotto Dstny and Antonio Eric Fagundez from Burgos Bh capitalized, breaking away to secure mountain points. But the Alpecin-Deceuninck team, eager to make the most of the few sprint opportunities in this race, closed in with determination. Sepulveda was the last to be caught,...

Madrid, Aug 30 (Ians) Kaden Groves of Alpecin-Deceuninck clinched the fourth stage of the Vuelta a Espana in a thrilling sprint finish.
The Australian delivered a powerful sprint on a slight uphill stretch to the finish line, overtaking Sebastian Molano of the UAE Team Emirates in the last moments to win by approximately two bike lengths, reports Xinhua.
Spanning 185 kilometers from Andorra la Velle to Tarragona, this stage was one of the limited opportunities for sprinters in this year’s Vuelta. Though a trio broke away early on, their chance of success was slim.
The main group reeled in the breakaway 19 minutes from the finish. Boosted by a tailwind on the descent following the day’s second short climb, the peloton’s speed neared 60 kilometers per hour. As they approached the finish, sprinters’ teams began setting up their primary riders, while teams focused on the general classification maintained a brisk pace to safeguard their top competitors.

Andorra, Aug 29 (Ians) Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel of Soudal-Quick Step executed a commanding finish to claim victory in the third stage of the Tour of Spain, subsequently donning the overall leader’s red jersey.
The defending champion surged ahead of a group, which included pre-race favorites Primoz Roglic and Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard, both from Team Jumbo Visma, as well as Enric Mas from Movistar, in the final 400 meters of a grueling stage concluding in Andorra, reports Xinhua.
The 158-kilometer mountain stage showcased two first-category climbs in the last 65 kilometers, culminating atop the Col de Ordino. This stage also featured a breakaway including Damiano Caruso of Bahrain Victorious and Bora-hansgrohe’s Lennard Kamna.
Caruso, the last breakaway rider on the track, was caught by the peloton less than two kilometers from the finish.
This prompted Sepp Kuss of Jumbo Visma to initiate an attack, with Marco Soler and Juan Ayuso,...
