Vingegaard regains red jersey after team time trial
Israeli team stopped by protesters with Palestinian flags
Jonas Vingegaard regained the red jersey after stage five of the Vuelta a España in a dramatic team time trial in which Israel Premier-Tech were delayed by pro-Palestinian protesters on the route.
UAE Team Emirates-XRG won the stage but Visma-Lease a Bike’s second-placed finish allowed Vingegaard to regain the lead from Groupama-FDJ’s David Gaudu.
Although team time trials are now quite rare on Grand Tours, the format is making a comeback, with the time for each team considered when the fourth rider crossed the line on the 24.1km stage in Figueres.
