Pavel Bittner took the challenge to the sprinters at the end of a flat 177km run.
PAVEL BITTNER DEFIED the odds to beat favoured sprinters Wout van Aert and Kaden Groves in a dash to the finish on stage five of the Vuelta a Espana on Wednesday.
Advertisement “It’s unbelievable,” Bittner told Eurosport. “Only a few days ago I got my first pro win, so to get my first win at my first Vuelta, I still can’t believe it. Primoz Roglic remains in the leader’s red jersey as he seeks a record-equalling fourth Vuelta title. Van Aert is in green as the sprinter with the most points.
