La Vuelta a Espana #5: Sbaragli nets 6th once again
The 5th stage of the La Vuelta a Espana saw Caleb Ewan win his first grand tour stage by out sprinting John Degenkolb (Giant-Alpecin) and Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo). It would pretty much be your stock standard sprinters stage, just without a typical sprint finish run in. It was really flat all day and then with just 500 meters to go the road would ramp upwards. The early break of three riders which included the Ethiopian champion, Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida) were allowed to go 7 minutes ahead of the peloton before Tinkoff-Saxo and Giant-Alpecin brought the race together with 9km to go. Once the catch was.
