Julian Alaphilippe’s exit from La Vuelta is a “huge blow” for the Frenchman and his Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl leader Remco Evenepoel, according to Dan Lloyd on The Breakaway. The Frenchman’s rotten season continued as he crashed out on Stage 11 with a dislocated shoulder. Ad It leaves Evenepoel with a support cast of just five as he bids to carry the red jersey into Madrid, following Pieter Serry’s withdrawal due to Covid earlier in the race.
Team BikeExchange-Jayco bounced back in the best way possible from the Covid withdrawal of leader Simon Yates by launching sprinter Kaden Groves to a maiden Grand Tour stage win in Cabo di Gata on the Costa del Almeria. Groves benefited from a flawless lead-out as he latched onto the wheels of Juan Sebastian Molano (UAE Team Emirates) and Daniel McLay (Arkea-Samsic) to power clear on the home straight of Stage 11 before holding off Danny van Poppel (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Tim Merlier (Alpecin-Deceuninck) for a stunning win.
Australian Kaden Groves of Team Bike Exchange-Jayco won stage 11 of the Vuelta a Espana while world champion Julian Alaphilippe crashed out. Groves secured the victory in a tight finish, beating Danny van Poppel (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Tim Merlier (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to the line. Groves came up on the right side from behind Daniel McLay (Arkea-Samsic) as he sprinted past him and Juan Sebastian Molano (UAE Team Emirates) inside the final 50m. Van Poppel and Merlier came off Groves' wheel to finish second and third respectively. The Australian's victory came as a relief to the team after their leader Simon Yates was forced to pull out of the race following a positive Covid-19 result ahead of Wednesday's stage. "It feels fantastic," Groves said. "This morning with the news of Simon going positive for COVID-19 all the boys were disappointed. It's the best way to bounce back after such bad news. "We set up early for this wind. We thought there'd be crosswind earlier but there was nothing until the final 4km where we were the first team. The guys did a perfect job keeping me in front and fresh. "Maybe with about 50-100m to go I was fresher than the other guys who had to do efforts from behind to move up. Thankfully I was in the right position and got the gap to step out and do my sprint. "Being my first Grand Tour win for sure it takes the cake." Race leader Remco Evenepoel (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) kept his red jersey after finishing safely in the peloton, while Mads Pedersen of Trek-Segafredo stayed on top of the points classification.
