Vuelta a Espana after coming out on top in a sprint finish. Bozic was
pipped to a stage win by Greg Henderson on Monday. But the Slovenian
was not to be denied on Friday - launching his attack early in the
final sprint and never looking under threat as he finished clear of
Tyler Farrar, Daniele Bennati, Davide Vigano and Tom Boonen. |
