Ireland’s Eddie Dunbar finished in 117th place.
KADEN GROVES PIPPED Juan Sebastian Molano in a thrilling bunch sprint finish to win stage four of the Vuelta a Espana on Tuesday, hours after Spanish police said they had foiled an attempted plot to sabotage the race.
The third Grand Tour of the season has been hit with problems in the opening stages, from bad weather to reigning champion Remco Evenepoel crashing into a spectator after the finish line on Monday as he won stage three. “I thought because he had led out for 350 metres and a finish like that is super tough, I thought he would have to be on a really good day to beat me,” Groves told Eurosport.“It’s been a good year, with a stage win in the Giro and already winning in the Vuelta quite early, hopefully it’s not the last.”
The break survived both of stage four’s two big climbs but they were caught by the peloton with under 20 kilometres remaining.
