Ben Turner sprinted to his first Grand Tour victory on the fourth stage of the Vuelta a Espana.

Turner was well protected throughout the 207km stage, and had a perfect lead out from Michal Kwiatkowski with just under three kilometres to go. A steady uphill finish saw Kwiato deliver Turner perfectly, with the Brit unleashing his sprint to beat Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck).

Egan Bernal finished comfortably in the bunch to retain fourth position on the GC, sitting 14 seconds back on new leader David Gaudu (Groupama - FDJ).
