Vuelta a España 2014 stage 5

Vuelta 2014: John Degenkolb – and that’s two

Vuelta 2014: John Degenkolb – and that’s two

Wednesday, August 27 – The ‘frayed trail’ between Priego de Córdoba to Ronda is fodder for sprinters. The arrival is similar to yesterday's and the winner is exactly the same: John Degenkolb. The German powerhouse is outsprinting Bouhanni and Hofland, whilst Michael Matthews will still be in red for at least one day. Tomorrow brings the first mountain stage in this year's Vuelta.

Vuelta 2014 Route stage 5: Priego de Córdoba – Ronda

Wednesday, August 27 – A ‘frayed trail’ today. Nearly nowhere stage 5, leading from Priego de Córdoba to Ronda, is flat. At the same time you’ll find no real climbs in the 180 kilometres. Fodder for sprinters with a ‘hilly appetite’.

Vuelta 2014: Favourites stage 5 – Bouhanni vs Degenkolb/Sagan combination

Stage 5 offers a fast men menu, not for the first time. Condition is they don't wine over a 3rd category top with 15 kilometres left and a false flat finale. Will Nacer Bouhanni be able to outwit Sagan and Degenkolb?
