Groves deserves his own thread doesn't he? I've searched several different ways and don't see one.
Nice sprint today! He's got it, no he doesn't, yes he does.

Not many sprinters can say they won with a Cat 1 climb so close to the finish.

I think the other top sprinters are currently duking it out in the Renewi race, we should bring them over into the Vuelta!
(Cause at the Vuelta even a rider with some muscle can sport the polka dots for a day.)

I owe you a tequila if you ever get to Idaho!
I think my body would happily welcome pretty much anything else than tequila, but beggars can't be choosers.

OK, Idaho potato beer then?
Idaho® Potato Ale
IPA • 6.7% ABV • 72 IBU
This IPA style is proudly made with the addition of actual Idaho® Russet Potatoes! We use them and specialty hops to make this brew unique, flavorful, and not overly bitter but well balanced and drinkable. It is another great way to enjoy Idaho's staple...in a pint!

If it’s in Pocatello there’s some good bars/diners out there you can sip the tequila at.

Do all Australians speak in a deep masculine voice?

Yes. I met an Australian girl once. Freaky.
Last year a tiny bodybuilder took the polka dots home.
I don't think Groves has the pure speed to match Milan, Philipsen, Merlier etc in a proper dragrace, the way he beat Van Aert. But i do feel somehow he could be winning a lot more races with a better schedule.
It takes a mere seven GT stage victories to have a thread! One area that needs to be explored more is riding a stronger classics program and more one day races.

A real Vuelta specialist, 6 of his 18 career wins have come in the Spanish Grand Tour. But according to the below article in the main page, he is thinking about a schedule change for next year.

I can only see Groves riding the Tour with Philipsen if Van der Poel skips the Tour and goes to the Vuelta instead, but I don't think Philipsen would enjoy losing his main leadout man.

With 3 sprint wins, today Groves can be happy with the green jersey.
How he was visibly pissed with getting the green jersey due to WvA's crash yesterday makes him sympathetic.

I'm still sour he didn't win a single stage in last year's Giro otherwise he'd have a stage win in every GT in his career.
Congrats KG!
Way to go out and TAKE the win! I love hard racing!
His reaction shows how much this means to him, sprinkled with complete exhaustion from a tough stage and three weeks of racing.

A great ride by Groves and a way better win than just winning in a sprint finish!
