00:00 Stage 5 of the Vuelta a España and with a similar profile today.
00:10 The question, sprint or brake?
00:12 Sadly expected one less speedster Brian Cook are abandoning after a second crash in four
00:16 days and so it was Caden Groves who powered to victory yesterday the Aussie hopes to contest
00:21 another mass sprint.
00:22 It's actually a hard day, really hard to start and there's a lot of wind around so we expect
00:27 quite some stress with the GC teams and we have to see, it depends on the size of the
00:31 breakaway to which cars we play but I feel like it could be a sprint today.
00:37 Juan Sebastián Molano won in Madrid on the last Vuelta, second behind Groves, the Colombian
00:42 hopes to come out on top today.
00:44 Yes, with experience I've already done four Vueltas a España, last year as you say it
00:49 was a stage, I think it's a bit more confidence that gives me and well now day to day I'm
00:56 feeling better, I'm having good legs and we hope today will be a good day.
01:01 Edward Tunz of Little Trek was third on stage four while compatriot Milan Menton was fourth.
01:06 The young Lotto Destiny rider is an outside bet on his Vuelta debut.
01:11 I know my form is quite good so I was happy with the result, I performed a good sprint
01:17 and I hope to be in the mix again today.
01:21 I'm happy to be directly good in the mix for a win, I was happy with the legs and the
01:26 feeling but it's a really nice opportunity, it's my first Grand Tour so I want to show
01:31 the best of myself.
01:40 Little to concern the GC contenders on the 186.5km from Morella to Burriana.
01:47 One categorised climb, the toughest outside stage three's venture to the Pyrenees, some
01:51 escapee encouragement but plenty of time for the peloton to reel them in.
02:04 Stage five underway and one man out on his own, Eric Fagundes successfully let loose.
02:10 The Burgos BH rider hails from Uruguay, a national time trial champion and marking his
02:15 first Grand Tour.
02:41 Just the third Uruguayan ever to ride La Vuelta and happy to fly the flag.
02:46 The 25-year-old five minutes up the road but little by little Fagundes saw his time drop.
02:52 100km to go, the gap around 3 minutes 30.
02:56 The peloton paced by Alpsin De Koenig with the goal to guide Caden Groves.
03:01 You can see just the little splits in the peloton there through the technical section,
03:06 nothing to worry about but someone's got to make an effort to close that down.
03:13 While the peloton accelerated, the wind did create those small fractures.
03:17 No need to worry though, everything's soon back in order.
03:21 Just in time for the one category climb of the day.
03:24 Approaching the main challenge at El Collado de la Ebola, 11km with an average 5% gradient,
03:31 Jason Osborne joined at the front by teammate Jimmy Janssens, Alpsin De Koenig reeling Fagundes
03:37 in beside two minutes.
03:48 Eduardo Sepulveda moving up, the first Argentine to lead a major classification at a Grand
03:54 Tour at his sights on King of the Mountain points.
03:58 Well here is Sepulveda, he decides to add a little bit of injection of pace here at
04:05 the front.
04:06 He doesn't want to just sit within the peloton, he wants to make sure that he cements himself
04:10 in that classification.
04:11 He wants to try and take the three points which are remaining.
04:18 The Lotto destiny climber catching the long time Uruguayan leader.
04:24 Two South Americans at the head of the race, but one kicked on to protect his hard earned
04:32 polka dot jersey.
04:36 Sepulveda takes the maximum points, five points, he puts himself on to 21 points in the King
04:41 of the Mountains classification at the top of the Collado de la Ebola.
04:46 The duo descending to remain ahead of the pack, but it was a short lived escape existence.
05:06 Fagundes caught with 41km left, Sepulveda holding out a little longer, but the peloton
05:12 finally brought everyone back together.
05:14 The end of any faint hopes for the resistance.
05:28 Thoughts may have been drifting towards mass sprint positioning, yet there was a small
05:31 matter of the intermediate sprint, and with bonus seconds as well as points up for grabs,
05:36 enough to interest the Mayo Rojo.
05:39 Things start to open up and here goes Remco Evenepoel, he wants the bonus seconds.
05:43 Remco Evenepoel with the red jersey, he takes the six bonus seconds, he takes the maximum
05:48 points at the intermediate sprint.
05:51 The big challenge, more roundabouts on the horizon, 16 in the final 16k, it only took
05:56 one to cause havoc.
06:00 This is the biggest roundabout in the final running, you can see the speed, oh there's
06:06 a crash, there's a crash, there's a crash and riders slide out at the head here with
06:10 3.1km to go.
06:13 Groves losing teammates in the mayhem but also potential rivals past the Flamm Rouge
06:18 who had the legs to take the honours.
06:23 Lewis Askey is on the wheel of Caden Groves at the moment, Groves is in the perfect position
06:28 to try and take back to back stage victories.
06:31 Here comes even Gauthier Gortina as the sprint starts to open up and here is Filipe Ogana,
06:36 Filipe Ogana down the centre of the road, he's challenging Caden Groves, is it going
06:39 to be back to back victories?
06:40 It's a throw to the line and Groves thinks he's got that one, back to back victories
06:45 for Caden Groves wearing the green jersey.
06:49 The Australian rocket in no doubt who crossed first, two in a row, Groves this time controlled
06:55 from the front to rubber stamp his sprint dominance.
06:58 Even though he lost two teammates to a crash, the 24 year old clinching a fourth Grand Tour
07:02 win and third in Spain.
07:10 The 20th Australian Vuelta stage winner but first to win in successive days.
07:39 This time Giro stage winner and time trial specialist Filipe Ogana unable to claim a
07:44 first Vuelta success.
07:48 Remco Evenpoel picking up bonus points at the intermediate sprint, that allowed the
07:52 23 year old to extend his slender lead to 11 seconds over Enric Mas, Roglic more than
07:58 40 seconds down.
08:00 Groves safe in the Maio Berni for Alpecin Dekernic, nearly double the points of Vendrami
08:07 but a long way still to go.
08:14 Sobervera taking his opportunity to improve his king of the mountain standing, the Lotto
08:20 destiny rider 11 clear, Osudo Quick-Steps Red Devil.
08:27 The Belgian champion remains the best of the youngsters, 20 year old Lennie Martinez continues
08:32 in white.
08:36 The sprinters have had their fun back to the mountains for stage 6 of the GC fight for
08:41 La Vuelta.
