Groves wins convincingly in Santander
Another stage win for Kaden Groves (Alpecin – Deceuninck). The Australian won the 141,5-kilometer stage from Arnuero to Santander in a dominant mass sprint. Four breakaway riders – Jonas Gregaard (Lotto Dstny), Thomas Champion (Cofidis), Xabier Isasa (Euskaltel – Euskadi), and Thibault Guernalec (Arkea – B&B Hotels) – dominated the race. In the pouring rain, even the last of them was eventually caught. Late attacks by Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny), Mauro Schmid (Jayco AlUla), and Enzo Leijnse (dsm-firmenich – PostNL) couldn't prevent the mass sprint.
