Australian Kaden Groves of Team BikeExchange-Jayco won stage 11 of the Vuelta a Espana, a 191.2km flat ride from Alhama de Murcia to Cabo de Gata on Wednesday, while world champion Julian Alaphilippe crashed out.
Groves came up on the right side from behind Daniel McLay as he sprinted past him and Juan Sebastian Molano inside the final 50m. Van Poppel and Merlier came off Groves' wheel to finish second and third respectively. "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.
"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.Race leader Remco Evenepoel kept his red jersey after finishing safely in the peloton, while Mads Pedersen of Trek-Segafredo stayed on top of the points classification.
