British teenager Matthew Brennan won stage five of the Volta a Catalunya, his second triumph of the race so far. <\/b><\/p>\n

Riding for Visma-Lease A Bike, 19-year-old Brennan produced a stunning sprint finish on day one<\/a> for his first World Tour win and on the fifth day, edged past Netherlands and Alpecin-Deceuninck rider Tibor del Grosso for another close victory in three hours, 28 minutes and 14 seconds. <\/p>\n

The 172km stage favoured the sprinters with only one categorised climb but they were impacted by strong winds in the final 20km. <\/p>\n

“We’ve worked all day and we knew it would be a little bit hectic coming into the final stretch,” Brennan said.<\/p>\n

“I think the whole team was there [at the end] and we came into the finish in a good position. I’m so happy that I could finish off for them.”<\/p>\n

Spain’s Juan Ayoso, racing for UAE Team Emirates XRG, keeps his place at the top of the general classification but Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe’s Primoz Roglic has narrowed the gap between them to just one second. <\/p>\n

The pair are pulling ahead with another Spaniard, Enric Mas, 21 seconds behind in third place. <\/p>\n

Stage six, the penultimate day of the race, moves to the mountains for a 159km stretch. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
