Sam Bennett stretched his lead in the points classification on Friday after Jesus Herrada of Cofidis sprinted to victory to take stage seven of the Vuelta a Espana, a 190km ride from Camargo to Cistierna.
On a day the pendulum tantalisingly swung between the breakaway and the peloton, it was the five-man move which ultimately ended up on top with Spain’s Jesus Herrada (Cofidis) proving the strongest in a thrilling conclusion to Stage 7 in Cistierna. The only man in the breakaway with a previous Vuelta stage win to his name, Herrada used all his experience and guile to time his sprint to perfection, launching from the wheel of Britain’s Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) and then holding off a late surge from Italy’s Samuele Battistella (Astana-Qazaqstan).

World Cup, officials said on Thursday, as neighbouring Gulf countries look to reap benefits from the competition. People with a Hayya Card, which is reserved for ticket-holders and used to access Qatar during the tournament, will be able to apply for the electronic visas, the foreign ministry said. The move comes as Qatar, which has a population of 2.8 million, tries to accommodate an expected 1.2 million visitors during the November 20-December 18 World Cup, and as Saudi Arabia ramps up efforts to attract tourists.
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s youth team have qualified for next year’s handball world championship in Croatia after defeating the UAE 37-27 on Wednesday night.
BILBAO, Spain: With the finish line in sight, Marc Soler looked back over his shoulder and realized his challengers wouldn’t catch him.
Fred Wright’s wait for a breakthrough win goes on after another near-miss on Stage 5 at La Vuelta, with the Brit claiming his legs were “almost too good” as he bemoaned his poor luck. Wright (Bahrain Victorious) was part of an 18-strong breakaway on the run from Irun to Bilbao, with the group later joined by Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) before being slowly whittled down as the stage progressed. Ad With the day certain to go to the break, he later looked best-placed to take a first Grand Tour victory when two chase groups came together and had lone escapee Soler in their sights in the final kilometre.
Watching a Fred Wright interview immediately after a race is a joy to behold. Few cycling fans will forget the 23-year-old Londoner’s emotional reaction to Matt Stephens’ kind words after Stage 19 of the Tour de France in July, when Wright came within striking distance of contesting for the win in Cahors after a spirited counter-attack inside the final hour of racing.
