Australian follows up stage four success in another sprintEvenepoel picks up time bonuses earlier in the stage
Kaden Groves won for the second day in succession as the Australian edged out Filippo Ganna to claim stage five of the Vuelta a España. A relatively uneventful 186.5km trek from Morella to Burriana ended in the predicted bunch sprint, with Alpecin-Deceuninck’s Groves holding off a surging Ganna, the Italian riding for Ineos Grenadiers.
Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) retained the overall leader’s red jersey after finishing safely in the pack having picked up useful time bonuses on the last intermediate sprint.
