00:00 Stage 19 of La Vuelta and the sprinters are back.

00:05 It's been over a week since the fast men last faced off and they've done a lot of climbing

00:08 in the meantime.

00:09 After three exhausting weeks, there could be surprises in store today.

00:14 Stage 19.

00:16 I think also Egan can do the sprint today.

00:23 Everyone is tired.

00:24 So we will see what can happen during the stage.

00:27 It's possible it will be a little bit of a crosswind.

00:32 I don't know what can happen but we'll see in the final.

00:37 Caden Groves is the favourite having already won two sprints but he was beaten in the last

00:41 two and he's also thinking about that green jersey.

00:44 Of course we go for the intermediate today.

00:48 More points to gain back my lead on Remco would be nice.

00:52 But for sure we try and close the breakaway before then and take some points before the

00:59 final.

01:00 Geoffrey Soupe is living proof that the bookies don't always get it right.

01:04 The Frenchman stunned the more favoured sprinters on stage 7.

01:07 We will try to reverse the roles a little bit with Driss.

01:11 He is in good shape on this end of the Vuelta.

01:14 We will see how it goes during the day but maybe I will lead out for him today to win

01:20 against Caden Groves.

01:21 He will have to be smart and judicious.

01:26 We will try to get our game in the final and try to get out at the right time.

01:32 Maybe anticipate and we will see what happens.

01:37 Alberto Dainese, a two-time Giro stage winner, is still chasing his first sprint victory

01:42 at La Vuelta.

01:43 It's a bit different than the last sprint we did.

01:47 There is a corner, two k's to go and at the end you just need to get a good position and

01:56 clear around to sprint.

01:59 So hopefully we can do a good job and set my sprint.

02:05 177km to cover on stage 19, which should be fairly straightforward, unless the wind picks

02:11 up on the exposed roads between La Banyesa and Iscar.

02:15 Alpecindo Koenig will no doubt look to bring the breakaway back before the intermediate

02:19 sprint which comes 20km from the finish line so Caden Groves can take maximum points before

02:24 thinking about the final sprint shootout.

02:40 Only four riders got into the breakaway including three Frenchmen.

02:43 Paul Le Pere of AG2R Citroen, Matis Lebert from Arkea Samsic and Clement Davy from Groupama

02:49 FDJ.

02:50 They were joined by the Czech all-rounder Mikel Schlegel of Caja Rural.

02:54 However, they would have had no illusions about their chances with the gap never exceeding

02:58 two minutes.

03:04 The sprint teams driving the peloton along at high speed with slight echelons forming

03:09 but there wasn't enough wind to cause proper splits.

03:11 UAE team Emirates were up there with Alpecindo Koenig, working for Juan Sebastian Milano,

03:16 winner of the last sprint in Saragossa on stage 12.

03:35 The average speed remained high.

03:37 It was over 46km/h for the first two hours of racing.

03:41 And yet it was still turning into a relatively easy day for the GC riders who had a chance

03:45 to catch their breath after some tough battles in the mountains.

03:49 Heading into the final 50km, the gap to the breakaway was down to under a minute.

03:58 The peloton closing on the remains of the break just before the intermediate sprint

04:01 in Mojados with Davy and Schlegel still plugging away.

04:06 Davy would actually be first over the line, closely followed by Groves.

04:14 Samueli Batistella then made the most of a brief lull to go on the attack for Astana

04:18 Kazakhstan who haven't had a single top five finish at this Vuelta.

04:23 The former under-23 world champion giving it a good go but it was almost impossible

04:27 to hold off a charging peloton on these big wide roads.

04:31 He was caught with 10km to go.

04:38 1400m remain, Team DSM Firmenic are there, the INEOS Grenadiers in control and at the

05:01 moment in the top 10, Caden Groves is nowhere to be seen.

05:05 Ghana in perfect position, they move up the C, you can see the effort they have to do

05:10 on the left hand side.

05:11 And there's a big crash and several riders, the touch of wheels and there we go, it's

05:16 Caden Groves who's caught up.

05:17 Caden Groves, the leader in the points classification jersey is caught up and today it's not going

05:23 to be for him.

05:28 And now we see a huge change into the final, into Iskar.

05:34 A final kilometre that has been disappointment but here we start to see the sprint open up

05:40 and now we start to see the INEOS Grenadiers open up.

05:43 On the front is Kim Haidouk and he's got Filippo Ganna in the wheel.

05:47 There's Marijn Vandenberg and Hugo Hofstetter is trying to get himself unboxed.

05:51 Also coming through is Alberto Dainese and the sprint starts to launch.

05:56 Even Garcia Cortina is trying to challenge Ganna but here comes Dainese, he's going to

06:01 be close on the line, he's going to be a throw and Dainese opens up the account and he wins

06:07 his first individual stage victory here in Love Welter.

06:10 Yes! Yes! Dainese landing his sixth career victory

06:39 and his third on a Grand Tour, that is now two at the Giro and one at Love Welter.

06:44 The 25-year-old handing DSM Fermanich their second win of the race after the opening team

06:48 time trial.

06:50 The Italian's off to Tudor Pro Cycling next year and he is set to leave on a high note.

06:56 Today we executed the plan 100%.

07:00 I think I was really lucky to lose a couple of guys in the crash but until that point

07:08 I was in a perfect position where I wanted to be and it was a bit headwind so I let Ganna

07:15 and the other guys just go a bit early and then I was waiting for my moment to go in

07:24 the wind and I'm super happy to finish our hard welter in this way.

07:32 Dainese pepping Ganna to the line to take the win with Martin Vandenberg third and Davide

07:37 Cimolai making it three Italians in the top four.

07:40 Milano could only manage 21st place with Groves one of the last to roll in after his team-mate

07:45 Tobias Baer's crash.

07:49 Sepp Kuss came home safely in the bunch and he moves one day closer to his first Grand

07:53 Tour victory.

07:54 The American still leads by 17 seconds.

07:57 Groves didn't get the opportunity to go for another stage win but he picked up 17 points

08:01 at the intermediate sprint.

08:03 That puts him 53 ahead of Remco Evenepoel in the fight for green.

08:08 The fight for polka dots is already over.

08:10 Evenepoel has wrapped up the mountains classification barring any accidents.

08:17 Similarly Juan Ayuso is set to win the youth classification ahead of Kian Utterbroeckx and

08:21 Joao Almeida.

08:24 Tomorrow's penultimate stage should be a spectacular one.

08:27 It's a long classic style outing with no fewer than 10 climbs which will settle the GC standings

08:32 once and for all before Sunday's procession into Madrid.

08:35 (upbeat music)

08:38 (eerie music)
