Stage 17 of La Vuelta 24 was a historic day for Australian cycling, with three riders from Down Under leading three different standings, and it finished in superb fashion, as Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sprinted to victory in Santander. He dominated a thrilling finale to take his 3rd win of this edition, ahead of Pavel Bittner (DSM-Firmenich-PostNL) and Vito Braet (Intermarché-Wanty). Meanwhile, Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) survived a rainy day to hold on to La Roja, while Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates) held on to the polka-dot jersey.
Mike Woods (Israel-Premier Tech) was a DNS.
