Vuelta: Buchmann ninth in King victory

Alfacar (SID) Professional cyclist Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-hansgrohe) narrowly missed taking over the red jersey for the overall leader on the fourth stage of the Tour of Spain. The Ravensburger took ninth place when the American Benjamin King won and is now seven seconds behind the Pole Michal Kwiatkowski from Team Sky in second place. "My legs were very good again. I knew the final climb from training and knew that it would be a little flatter at the top," said Buchmann: "In the end I still had reserves and thought, why not try. But the Vuelta will be in the last one We decided this week, you still have to have some grains there.” After 161,4 kilometers from Velez-Malaga to Alfacar in Andalusia, King (Dimension Data) prevailed in the sprint from a breakaway group ahead of Kazakh Nikita Stolnow (Astana) and Frenchman Pierre Rolland (EF Education First-Drapac). Buchmann launched an attack from the main field shortly before the finish and crossed the finish line 2:50 minutes behind King. The fifth stage of the 73rd edition of the Vuelta is on the program on Wednesday. The route from Granada to Roquetas de Mar is over 188 kilometers.
