Enric Mas Finally Wins the Spanish Vuelta After Finishing Second Three Times

Mas became the first Spanish rider to win the race since 2014 after surviving a brutal mountain stage and taking a lead of more than two minutes.

  • On Sunday, Movistar Team's Enric Mas won the Vuelta a Espana in Granada, securing his maiden Grand Tour title after years of near-misses.
  • Mas inherited the red jersey from Tadej Pogacar after the five-time Tour de France champion crashed out during the eighth stage earlier in the race.
  • Surviving Saturday's brutal penultimate stage in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Mas established a lead of over two minutes ahead of Sunday's ceremonial final stage.
  • Mas became the first Spanish rider to win the race since Alberto Contador in 2014, while Tobias Johannessen of Uno-X Mobility won the final stage on Sunday.
  • The Movistar leader finally claimed the top spot after finishing second overall three times previously, overcoming the 3 minutes, 50 seconds deficit Pogacar held before his crash.
