The large group of sprinters who crossed the finish line included Australia's overall leader Ben O'Connor and his main challenger, Slovenian Primoz Roglič."It was quite a tough day. It started dry and then the finish was wet so it made it quite dangerous as well," Groves told reporters. A leading group of four riders followed each other in the mountains of northwestern Spain into the mostly flat final stretch but lost time as none of them wanted to attempt a breakaway.
O'Connor praised his compatriot Groves, who also took over the green points jersey following Wout van Aert's abandonment after a crash on Tuesday."It was a bit wet, not too hard, a little treacherous on the descents, but it wasn't too complicated in the end."Sports content to make you think... or allow you not to.
