Jonas Vingegaard reclaimed the overall lead of the Vuelta a Espana on the fifth-stage team time-trial on Wednesday, while UAE Team Emirates-XRG riders Juan Ayuso and Joao Almeida climbed to second and third in the standings.

As the 21-day race arrived in Spain after four stages in Italy and France, the leaderboard was reshuffled with the three race favourites moving to the top of the deck.

UAE Team Emirates-XRG won the team time trial 24.1km stage around Figueres in 25min and 26sec, with Vingegard's Visma just eight seconds off the pace and Giulio Ciccone’s Lidl-Trek a further second slower in third on the day.

The victory was built on meticulous preparation by the eight-man squad, who spent two days preparing for the discipline in Italy ahead of the Gran Salida, and did everything possible to dial their plan on Wednesday.

Heading out on course for not one, but two recon rides, UAE Team Emirates-XRG ensured that the battle plan was well-honed before they became the third-to-last team down the ramp in Figueres.

I’m a school teacher: SEND provision changes lives

In the foreword to a report by the centre-right think tank Policy Exchange, the former health secretary Jeremy Hunt argues that children are being overdiagnosed with mental health and neurodivergent conditions. In England, one in five children has been identified with additional needs, and Hunt says that the rise in Send spending “risks the financial sustainability of local government.” The idea of this claimed “overdiagnosis” is baffling to me because, as a secondary school teacher, I've seen firsthand how labyrinthine and difficult the process is.
