Vuelta Stage 4: Fabio Jakobsen holds off Sam Bennett to win sprint
Fabio Jakobsen of Deceuninck-Quick Step has won Stage 4 of the Vuelta a Espana in El Puig, beating Bora-Hansgrohe’s Sam Bennett by barely a tyre’s width as the Dutch and Irish national champions went head to head in the sprint. Team Sunweb's Nicolas Roche retains his overall lead, while Bennett moves into the leadership of the points classification.
With a little over 5 kilometres remaining of the 175.5-kilometre stage from Cullera, Jakobsen’s team mate Remi Cavagna launched a solo attack, but was was swept up just ahead of the flamme rouge.
Bennett, seeking his second successive stage win, followed the Dutchman’s wheel and looked to come round on his left, but two-time Scheldeprijs winner Jakobsen held him off to take his first Grand Tour stage victory of his career.
Early on in today's stage Jumbo-Visma's Steven Kruijswijk, third overall at the Tour de France last month, abandoned due to worsening knee pain due to his crash in Saturday's team time trial.

No chance of being rehabillitated ? Are you really going to hold that over someone for the rest of their life?
Especially children, near a school, one might imagine? By a bus driver driving children to school?...
TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.
I hope I'm not being a delicate snowflake, ignorant of the lessons of the school of hard knocks, department of that's how it is, university of life...
That's a great price. Just bear in mind Import duty and handling charges will be applied pre delivery.
It's a standard technique. See my longer comment....
Yep, I appreciate your problem. I wouldn't buy a bike without at least sitting on the same frame configuration on a trainer in the shop, something...
One less thing to clutter up your jersey pockets no? Though difficult to retrieve in a hurry...
was it one of these? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202411246675771?
Houchen is utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt, as readers of Private Eye know all too well.
