UAE-Team Emirates-XRG outclassed Visma-Lease a Bike and Lidl-Trek to win Wednesday’s stage 5 team time trial at the Vuelta a España, the first day of the race to take place within Spain.
Lidl-Trek powered to an early lead in the TTT and even through to the second time check the squad seemed to have a shot at holding on in Figueres, but UAE turned a brilliant final third out on the course into the stage win ahead of an also resurgent Visma squad. Visma’s runner-up ride propelled Jonas Vingegaard back into the race leader’s red jersey as overnight leader David Gaudu and his Groupama-FDJ squad lost 24 seconds against the clock.
