Team BikeExchange-Jayco Turn Disappointment Into Delight as Groves Wins Stage 11 of La Vuelta

Team BikeExchange-Jayco (Spain) - Press Release: Australian sprinter Kaden Groves blasted to his maiden Grand Tour stage win at La Vuelta a España as Team BikeExchange-Jayco bounced back in style on stage 11.

The squad put the setback of losing team leader Simon Yates to COVID-19 behind them as they delivered a sprint masterclass in Cabo de Gata, to turn disappointment into delight.

The stage always looked destined for a sprint finish and the Australian outfit set their stall our early as they sent Luke Durbridge to work on the front of the peloton to set the pace behind a three-rider breakaway.

The escapees were safely swept up inside the final 30km of racing and the team assumed their position at the head of the pack as the finale approached, with Groves glued to the wheel of his teammates as they guided him into the final kilometre in the perfect position.

Groves bided his time and refused to panic as the sprint opened up around him, before he launched his drive for the line with 150 metres to go. The 23-year-old proved he was the fastest in the drag race for victory as he powered away from his rivals to take his debut Grand Tour stage win.
