Tarragona, Spain – Australian Kaden Groves won the fourth stage of the Tour of Spain cycling in Tarragona on Tuesday, beating Colombian Juan Sebastian Molano in a sprint.

Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was the strongest in the final package, and pocketed his second victory over the Vuelta after a success in 2022. Belgian Remco Evenepoel retained the leader’s red jersey after a day rather quiet for the peloton despite two crashes in the final.
