Spanish Mikel Landa, from the Soudal Quick-Step team, won this Saturday the 20th stage of the Vuelta a España. This victory represents an individual success for the Basque rider in this year's edition of the race.

His compatriot Enric Mas, who competes for the Movistar team, used this stage to virtually confirm the victory in the general classification of the Vuelta. This would be the first Grand Tour won by the Mallorca-born rider.
