British rider Turner wins Vuelta sprint as Gaudu takes race lead
British rider Ben Turner won a bunch sprint on stage four of the Vuelta a Espana on Tuesday by nudging ahead of Belgian Jasper Philipsen after a long 206km ride from Italy into France.
Frenchman David Gaudu took the overall race lead from Jonas Vingegaard, who finished near the back of the main bunch, with Giulio Ciccone is third, Egan Bernal fourth and Tom Pidcock fifth.
Vingegaard also lost the sprint points jersey to his Danish compatriot Mads Pedersen, who was sixth on the day.
Turner's win for Ineos Grenadiers continues a trend of improvement since the return of Dave Brailsford to the team's helm.
Team UAE's Spanish rider Juan Ayuso remains atop the white jersey standings.
After the Montgenevre climb the Vuelta crossed the Italian border into France with the finish line at the town of Voiron at the foot of the Alps.
The Italian sejour produced two memorable finishes with Vingegaard claiming stage two and Gaudu of FDJ stealing a famous win on day three.
A long overnight transfer now takes the peloton all the way down to the Catalan town of Figueres known for its Salvador Dali Museum.
Wednesday's 24.1km team time-trial could well produce a new red jersey.
British outfit Ineos will almost certainly target the win headed by Italian Filippo Ganna and Colombian climber Bernal.
