Great Britain’s Ben Turner (Ineos Grenadiers) shocked all the big sprinters to take victory on stage 4 of the Vuelta a España, winning his maiden Grand Tour stage in Voiron with an impressive sprint.
Expected to be a bunch sprint, the uphill drag to the line in France made the sprint harder than expected, and it was a never-fading Turner who came past Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to take victory.
A late attack came from Bruno Armirail (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), who countered after the final intermediate sprint, but he was duly reeled back in by the sprint teams with 15km to go as they ensured there was a bunch finish in Voiron – though the winner wasn’t the sprinter anyone expected.
