Fresh from a second stage victory in the Vuelta a España, Alpecin-Deceuninck sprint ace Kaden Groves has confirmed that he will push for a berth in the team's Tour de France lineup in 2025.
One key element to Groves' latest Vuelta triumph - and he now has six in his palmares - was how the Australian managed to stay with the front group of 60 on the dauntingly long, but very steady category 1 climb of Puerto de Leitariegos. That was something Groves had also managed to do on the even harder Alto del 14% climb on stage 7, of course, but an untimely fall just at the summit that day then wrecked Groves' chances of fighting it out with Wout van Aert for the sprint in Cordoba.
