Australian cyclist Kaden Groves sprinted to a remarkable victory in the second stage of the Vuelta a Espana on Sunday, showcasing his prowess in the final stretch. Groves, riding for Alpecin-Deceuninck, managed to hold off Belgium's Wout van Aert from Visma-Lease a Bike in what turned out to be a hectic finish to the 194-km stretch from Cascais to Ourem along the Portuguese coast.

New Zealand's Corbin Strong, representing Israel Premier Tech, completed the podium by securing the third position.
