Kaden Groves (BikeExchange-Jayco) won stage 11 of the Vuelta a España with a powerful sprint, the Australian benefiting from his teammates taking control of the race in the closing kilometres.

The Frenchman fell hard onto his shoulder, causing him to abandon the race as he was taken to hospital for further checks.
