Kaden Groves recorded his first breakaway victory at the Tour de France, marking a milestone as he achieved 21 wins in his professional career. This win enables him to join a prestigious group of riders who have triumphed in all three Grand Tours. Groves has secured a total of 10 stage victories in Grand Tours. His win adds to Alpecin-Deceuninck's successes in the Tour, lifting team morale after injuries sidelined key teammates. Groves expressed pride in his team's efforts throughout their challenging journey during the competition.
I'm incredibly happy and proud of this team. We had a great start, winning two stages and a number of days in yellow, but we had a number of super low points, too, losing Jasper and Mathieu, so it's been quite a roller coaster for the team.
On a personal note, I knew I hadn't been sprinting super well. But in the end of a third week of a Grand Tour, I have been handling mountains well...and today I thought I'd try my chances in the break.
