The Spaniard Enric Mas, rider of the Movistar team, won the 2026 Vuelta a España. The 22-year-old achieved his first victory in a Grand Tour of world cycling, fulfilling an aspiration he had had since the start of his career.
Mas finished the competition with an advantage of 2 minutes and 15 seconds over the Slovenian Primoz Roglic, who came in second in the general classification. The difference between the two riders remained consistent throughout the final stages of the race.
In the final stage, held in Granada, it was Norwegian Johan Johannessen who came out on top. The Lidl-Trek rider won in a two-man sprint, thus securing the victory in the last stage of the Vuelta.
The 2026 Vuelta a España was thus marked by the clear dominance of Enric Mas, who managed to hold the lead from the final phases of the race until the arrival in Madrid, sealing a historic triumph in his sporting career.
