Wout Van Aert beaten to finish line by 21-year-oldPrimoz Roglic stays clear of trouble in red jersey
The Czech rider Pavel Bittner beat Wout van Aert in a photo finish at the end of stage five of the Vuelta a Espana on Wednesday.
Van Aert looked set to claim his second stage of this year’s race in a fast finish in Seville but the 21-year-old Bittner (DSM-Firmenich-PostNL) edged out the Belgian on the line with a well-timed bike throw for his first career win at a Grand Tour.
