La Vuelta 2022: Marc Soler powers to Stage 5 win to end Spanish drought, Rudy Molard takes red from Primoz Roglic
Spain’s Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) showcased his never-say-die spirit with a yo-yoing ride to secure the host nation’s first stage win on any Grand Tour for almost two years. Not only did Soler have to bridge over to a large breakaway on the first of five categorised climbs, but the 28-year-old livewire had to battle back after being dropped on the second ascent of the Puerto del Vivero before soloing to the second Vuelta stage win of his career.
