Madrid, Sep 2 (Ians) Geoffrey Soupe of TotalEnergies sprinted to a surprise win at the end of the seventh stage of the Vuelta a Espana (Tour of Spain) cycle race.
The French rider, who wasn’t among the pre-stage favorites, took advantage of some confusion caused by the last corner as the riders hurtled through the town of Oliva in eastern Spain at the end of a flat 201 kilometers stage, reports Xinhua.

Kuss was quickly on his feet,...
