Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck): “I think it’s quite a lot different, actually last year was a different experience collecting points. This year, obviously, Wout van Aert crashed out and left me with the jersey so it’s a bittersweet victory. But it’s really nice to be back here and it’s not for nothing. The team worked really hard and I know myself and the rest of the guys put in everything we could at each day for three weeks to arrive here with this jersey and also three victories. It’s a credit to the team. It’s not easy to get one win and to repeat that several times is always special. La Vuelta seems to treat me quite well and it’s a joy coming back each year. Thank you to my teammates, all the sponsors and everyone who makes it possible. We’ll talk about my calendar in November but I guess it’s quite likely [I’ll be back next year].”
