Euskaraz irakurri: Grovesek laugarren stage irabazi du helmugan sprint bikaina egin osteon

the australian cyclist Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) won this Thursday the fourth stage of the Volta a Catalunyadisputed between Llívia and Sabadell over 188.2 kilometers, being the strongest in a clean sprint and on a day in which Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) retained the lead.

Despite the fact that the final approximation work was done by the Soudal-Quick Step of Remco Evenepoel, the Alpecin-Deceuninck appeared just in time to prevail. Groves decided to wait for the movements of the rivals, he took the wheel of Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) and attacked at the right time.

The Frenchman was seen with the victory in his power, but Groves was on the lookout. He sped up as he bunted and passed him to get his 10th career win, first of this year. The Australian gave no room for reaction to a Coquard who was second, with Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech) third and jon aberasturi (Trek-Segafredo) seventh.

The Barcelonan Roger Adrià (Kern Pharma Team) and the Sabadell cyclist David De la Cruz (Astana) could not bring the break they shared with Torstein Traeen (Uno-X), Christopher Juul-Jensen (Jayco AlUla) and Nans Peters (AG2R Citroën Team) to a successful conclusion.

This time there was no fight at the head between the first two of the general classification; the still leader Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) did sprint to be fifteenth, but Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) did not seek to tickle him and entered the 26th position.
