'A very different emotion' - Sprinter Kaden Groves moves out of comfort zone at Tour de France for first breakaway victory

Alpecin - Deceuninck team's Australian rider Kaden Groves cycles to the finish line to win the 20th stage of the 112th edition of the Tour de France cycling race, 184.2 km between Nantua and Pontarlier, in the Jura, eastern France, on July 26, 2025. (Photo by Marco BERTORELLO / AFP).

Kaden Groves ticked a lot of boxes in Pontarlier on Saturday, as the Alpecin-Deceuninck fast man moved out of his usual hunting ground of bunch sprints to secure his first victory from a breakaway out of 21 wins as a professional on stage 20 of the Tour de France on Saturday.

The 26-year-old had plenty of other reasons for Saturday's win to feel special: not only riding his first Tour de France, but his triumph also allows him to join the select club of riders who have taken stages in all three Grand Tours.
