Vuelta: Mikel Landa wins the 20th stage and Enric Mas 'stamps' victory in the overall

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 16:50

Spanish rider Mikel Landa, from the Soudal Quick-Step team, won today the 20th stage of the Vuelta a España, showing a strong performance on the penultimate day of the competition.

In the same stage, his compatriot Enric Mas, rider for Movistar, virtually confirmed victory in the general classification, which represents the first title in a Grand Tour of his career.

This victory by Enric Mas marks an important milestone in the career of the Spanish rider, who until now had not managed to win a Grand Tour, establishing himself as the big winner of this edition of the Vuelta.

Why this matters

This result is significant for cycling fans in Portugal and the Iberian region, as it marks the possible crowning of Enric Mas as winner of a Grand Tour, something that was not guaranteed until the end of the race. Furthermore, Landa's stage victory demonstrates the competitiveness of Spanish riders in the race, which continues to be one of the three Grand Tours on the international calendar.
