Marc Soler ended Spain’s long wait for a Grand Tour stage win, while Rudy Molard took the red jersey away from Jumbo-Visma

Marc Soler ended Spain’s two-year wait for a stage winner at a Grand Tour as a late solo attack earned him victory on stage five of theFrenchman Rudy Molard took the overall lead after a hilly 187.2km ride from Irun to Bilbao. UAE-Team Emirates rider Soler attacked from a chasing group to catch and pass Molard’s British teammate, Jake Stewart on the final climb and stayed away to cross the line four seconds clear.

Groupama-FDJ’s Rudy Molard is the first rider from outside the Jumbo-Visma team to wear red at this year’s Vuelta.Thanks to the three bonus points he claimed on the final climb of Alto del Vivero, Molard takes a slender two-second lead over Britain’s Fred Wright into stage six with Germany’s Nikias Arndt 1min 9sec behind.

Soler appeared to have been in trouble on the day’s final climb having bridged across to the breakaway group, but he burst to the front with 2.5km of the ascent left. It still looked as though he would be caught on the descent into Bilbao but he maintained a slender lead to claim the second Vuelta stage win of his career.
