Magnus Sheffield and Ben Turner finished in sixth and eighth place respectively on the queen stage of the Volta Comunitat Valenciana.<\/p>\n
The fourth day of action provided a tough, 172-kilometre test, with the Grenadiers duo both present as the race arrived at the final pair of climbs.<\/p>\n
A select peloton split on the Cumbre del Sol ascent, with both riders setting their own tempo to eventually cross the line solo. Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull – Bora – Hansgrohe) used the climb as a launchpad for victory, winning the stage by 24 seconds to move into the race lead.<\/p>\n
With one day remaining, Sheffield and Turner occupy the same GC positions as their stage placings, 1:02 and 1:56 respectively back on Evenepoel.<\/p>\n
Turner’s performance was particularly strong across an extremely hilly parcours.<\/p>\n
24 hours after his rousing stage victory, AJ August didn’t enjoy the same luck on Saturday, going down in a crash alongside teammate Victor Langellotti. The latter would battle on before eventually abandoning the race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Magnus Sheffield and Ben Turner finished in sixth and eighth place respectively on the queen stage of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-413653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
