Visma-Lease a Bike dominate final stages to set up Briton

Mads Pedersen dropped on category-three climb

The British rider and Grand Tour debutant Matthew Brennan of Visma-Lease a Bike sprinted to a second stage victory of the Vuelta a España in Roquetes.

Wout van Aert and Christophe Laporte expertly led out their 21-year-old teammate at the end of stage five, and the youngster confidently demonstrated his devastating speed again to conclude the 173.4km route from Falset. Brennan has two victories from two sprint opportunities at the final Grand Tour of the season.
