Van Aert Takes Vuelta Stage Win, Mas Retains Overall Lead
Van Aert attacked late from a 9-rider lead group and delivered Visma-Lease a Bike's fourth stage win, while Brennan helped control the chase.
- On Friday, Belgian cyclist Wout van Aert won stage 13 of the Vuelta a España, defeating Valentin Paret-Peintre in a two-up sprint after the 193km race from Almuñécar to Loja.
- Classified as a 'medium mountains' stage with 3,400m elevation, the route featured the Venta de la Cebada, Alto del Legionario, and Puerto de Granada climbs, where a massive 40-man breakaway formed early.
- Teammate Matthew Brennan closed down attacks in the finale, allowing Van Aert to launch the winning move with 3.6km remaining and deliver Visma-Lease a Bike's fourth stage victory.
- Red jersey holder Enric Mas finished safely in the peloton three minutes later, retaining his overall race lead of one minute and 45 seconds over Primoz Roglic, who remained second.
- "I had it a little bit in my mind," Van Aert said. The win came two years after he abandoned his debut Vuelta following a season-ending knee injury.
