Another tough blow for Kaden Groves.

The Australian sprinter has abandoned the Vuelta a España after nine stages, ending his bid for another points jersey.

Groves also withdrew from this year’s Giro d’Italia, making it a frustrating Grand Tour season for one of Australia’s best sprinters.

Hopefully we see Kaden back at his best soon. 🇦🇺💪

“He is stable, and following a thorough medical assessment at hospital, Tadej has been diagnosed with a concussion, displaced left clavicle [collarbone] fracture, a stable C7 cervical fracture [neck bone], and multiple abrasions. Fortunately, no other major injuries and no neurological fallout.

Fingers crossed for a full and speedy recovery. 🤞

After a pretty brutal year on the bike so far, we’re hoping Vine’s luck continues as the race heads into its second week. 🤞

A government-led crackdown on illegal e-bikes is gathering pace, with new mandatory nationwide standards for e-bikes and other electric 'micromobility' devices now in the works.
