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.
