Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) carried the green jersey to the victory on stage 21 of the Vuelta a España in Madrid holding off Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) at the line.
Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma) turned the formality of completing the last stage into reality as the USA’s second-ever overall winner of the Spanish Grand Tour. Jumbo-Visma swept the GC podium, with Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard second and Giro d’Italia champion Primož Roglič in third.
