The stage spanned 177 kilometers from La Baneza to Iscar in central Spain and was largely uneventful until a high-speed crash occurred just as teams were gearing up for their final sprint, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Given the mountain-dominated nature of this race, a sprint stage like this offered little opportunity for a breakaway. The Alpecin-Deceuninck team, in particular, exerted significant effort to reel in the four breakaway riders, aiming to position Kaden Groves for his third stage win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, their aspirations were dashed when Groves, along with two of his Alpecin teammates, were ensnared in a crash. This mishap was triggered by an EF Education-EasyPost member who inadvertently caused a touch of wheels with only 1.5 kilometers remaining.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With Groves out of contention for the sprint, Dainese outpaced Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) and Marijn van den Berg (EF Education-EasyPost), the latter belonging to the team responsible for the crash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The overall standings remained unchanged. Sepp Kuss (Jumbo Visma) leads teammates Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic by margins of 17 seconds and one minute eight seconds, respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saturday's Stage 20 is set to be a challenging 208 kilometers, featuring nine third-category climbs around a circuit north of Madrid. Despite the relentless nature of the stage, significant time differences among the frontrunners are not anticipated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dainese-wins-sprint-in-vuelta-stage-19-as-groves-takes-late-tumble.jpg", "alt_img": "Dainese wins sprint in Vuelta stage 19 as Groves takes late tumble", "alt_title": "Dainese wins sprint in Vuelta stage 19 as Groves takes late tumble", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Dainese Wins Sprint In Vuelta Stage 19 As Groves Takes Late Tumble On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Dainese Wins Sprint In Vuelta Stage 19 As Groves Takes Late Tumble, Alberto Dainese: Alberto Dainese (DSM-Firmenich) clinched victory in a bunch sprint at the conclusion of the Vuelta a Espana cycle.", "seo_keywords": "Alberto Dainese, La Baneza, The Alpecin, Kaden Groves, EF Education, With Groves, Filippo Ganna, Ineos Grenadiers, Sepp Kuss, Jumbo Visma, Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic", "tag": "", "tagging": "Alberto Dainese, La Baneza, The Alpecin, Kaden Groves, EF Education, With Groves, Filippo Ganna, Ineos Grenadiers, Sepp Kuss, Jumbo Visma, Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "dainese-wins-sprint-in-vuelta-stage-19-as-groves-takes-late-tumble", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "725", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-09-16 10:26:03", "updated": "2023-09-16 10:26:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Alberto Dainese, La Baneza, The Alpecin, Kaden Groves, EF Education, With Groves, Filippo Ganna, Ineos Grenadiers, Sepp Kuss, Jumbo Visma, Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-09-16 10:26:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "793585", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/dainese-wins-sprint-in-vuelta-stage-19-as-groves-takes-late-tumble-8527" }
