Mikel Landa Climbs to Vuelta a España Stage 20 Victory as Enric Mas All-but Seals the Red Jersey
Landa earned his first Grand Tour stage victory in nine years after attacking from a 50-rider breakaway and finishing 49 seconds ahead.
- On Saturday, Mikel Landa of Team Soudal Quick-Step claimed victory on stage 20 of the Vuelta a España, securing his first Grand Tour stage win in nine years on the 186.8-kilometer Andalusian mountain route.
- Landa infiltrated a large breakaway before attacking at the foot of the 8km Collado del Alguacil climb, dropping rivals Tobias Halland Johannessen of Uno-X Mobility and Ramses Debruyne of Alpecin-Premier Tech to ride solo to the finish.
- Behind the breakaway, Enric Mas of Movistar defended his red jersey untroubled, while Sepp Kuss of Visma-Lease a Bike launched a long-range move that vaulted him from 11th overall into fifth place, gaining 8:45 on the leader.
- Mas enters Sunday's final stage holding a 2min 15sec advantage over Primoz Roglic of Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, with Felix Gall of Decathlon CMA CGM 30 seconds further back in third place.
- Granada hosts the final stage on Sunday, a largely ceremonial 112-kilometer finish where Mas appears poised to secure his first Grand Tour victory since inheriting the red jersey after Pogacar's early crash.
