Cycling: Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck – Quick-Step) has won the fourth stage of the Vuelta a Espana. In the mass sprint he left the favorite Sam Bennett (Bora – hansgrohe) behind. The German Max Walscheid (Sunweb) can look forward to a strong third place.
Kruijswijk retires from the Vuelta injured
Again there was a mass sprint at the Vuelta a Espana. Because on the fourth stage from Cullera to El Puig, 175,5 mostly flat kilometers had to be completed. Jelle Wallays (Lotto – Soudal) and Jorge Cubero Galvez (Burgos – BH) were in front by over seven minutes at one point. But the sprinter teams didn't let this chance pass them by. Unfortunately, the third-placed rider was no longer at the start today Steven Kruijswijk (Jumbo - Visma). After his fall in the team time trial, his knee hurts too much. A major setback for Captain Primoz Roglic.
Deceuninck – Quick-Step tactics – and wins
After the peloton caught the escapees, the teams EF Education First and Jumbo - Visma tried to initiate a wind edge problem. This succeeded. Some drivers could no longer follow the pace. However, dangerous men in the fight for overall victory were not among them. 5,5 kilometers before the finish tried Remi Cavagna (Deceuninck – Quick-Step) as a soloist. With this alternative tactic, the Bora – hansgrohe team became the follow-up work for Sam Bennett forced. Shortly before the Flamme Rouge Cavagna was caught and his team Deceuninck - Quick-Step drove the sprint as usual for Fabio Jacobsen at. Because Sam Bennett was too far behind, the Dutch champion was able to save millimeters ahead of the Irish champion across the finish line. Max Walscheid (Sunweb) was a strong third.
