Enric Mas is the winner of the 2026 Vuelta a España, the first Spanish winner of his home Grand Tour since Alberto Contador in 2014. Four Vuelta podiums, three of them second places, and at 31 he finally has the one that counts. Primoz Roglic is second at 2:15, Felix Gall third at 2:44.

Bram and Ethan go through the final week: two more sprint wins for Matthew Brennan, who finished his debut Grand Tour with five, the Jerez time trial where Mas lost only 33 seconds to Roglic, Sepp Kuss riding from eleventh to fifth on the queen stage, and Tobias Halland Johannessen finally winning one in Granada after years of second places.
Then there is the argument. The organisers took general classification times with 9.8 kilometres to go on the final stage, so the last lap did not count. There was no crash and nothing overtly dangerous about the circuit. Is a Grand Tour that has to disable its own classification to run its finale still a twenty one stage race?
After that it is Canada. Remco Evenepoel won GP de Québec, Isaac del Toro beat Paul Seixas in a two up sprint in Montréal, and Evenepoel finished fifth after spending too much of the race in the middle of the group. Del Toro and Seixas both look like Worlds contenders now. The elite men's road race is on 27 September, on many of the same roads.
