Veteran rider pulls off upset victory, edging out Orluis AularGeraint Thomas recovers after going down in early crash
Geoffrey Soupe was the surprise winner of stage seven of the Vuelta a España with the Frenchman edging out Orluis Aular in a chaotic sprint after a crash-strewn finish in Oliva.
A late corner on the 201km stage from Utiel put the favourite, Kaden Groves, and several other quick men out of position and set up a messy finale, in which TotalEnergies’ Soupe just hung on to beat Caja-Rural’s Aular in a photo-finish.
