Tour of Spain: Stage 5

John Degenkolb (Argos-Shimano) took his second win in the 2012 Vuelta a España beating Italian Daniele Bennati (RadioShack-Nissan) and Gianni Meersman (Lotto Belisol).

After winning Sunday’s second stage, John Degenkolb said he expected to deliver another reason for his team to party provided he would handle the first mountain stages fine. With his team again supporting him well as they had on the second stage, that’s exactly what happened when Degenkolb won the bunch sprint after the 168 kilometre fifth stage with start and finish in Logroño.

Afterwards Degenkolb was extremely happy. “This is unbelievable. The last kilometre went so fast. Thanks to the team I was in such a good position, I only had to sprint the last two hundred meters. This is already my second stage win this Vuelta, I’m speechless, I can hardly describe my feelings.”

In the Points classification Degenkolb is twenty-one points ahead of closest challenger Allan Davis and the German is secretly fantasizing of bringing the green jersey home. “That’s a dream. But Madrid is still far away. I will fight for every point.”

Joaquim Rodríguez (Katusha) keeps in red while the only real action outside of the final sprint was the long lone escape of Javier Chacón (Andalucía).

Team Sky meanwhile looked after their GC contender Chris Froome who remains just one second off the race lead. He finished safely in the bunch after bringing himself to the fore on the approach to the three kilometre banner.

The team looked to set up Ben Swift for the sprint but with the peloton stretched out heading under the flamme rouge, the 24-year-old had to make a lot of efforts in the wind and as soon as the serious business of the final kick for the line unfolded, Swift seemed to know he’d left his sprint behind in the effort to get to the front and rolled in outside of the top 20. Swift had also been in action earlier in the two intermediate sprints at the finish line, taking two points at the first time of asking, upping his tally but also covering off threats to the bonus seconds on behalf of Froome.
