Yesterday, Britain’s Chris Froome strengthened his grip on the red jersey in Stage 5 of La Vuelta, won from a break in swashbuckling style by the Kazakh powerhouse Alexey Lutsenko. Astana’s Lutsenko proved the strongest of a 17-man group, attacking at the foot of the fifth and final climb to solo to the biggest win of his career at the Ermita Santa Lucia at Alcossebre. On the first of eight summit finishes on the 72nd edition of La Vuelta, Eritrea’s Merhawi Kudus (Dimension Data) took second place 42 seconds in arrears with Spanish rookie Marc Soler (Movistar) in third at 56 seconds. Froome's chasing group crossed the line 4'31" down.
