The Spanish rider Enric Mas, from the Movistar team, conquered this Sunday the Tour of Spain, thus securing the greatest victory of his career. Mas's victory marks the end of a 12-year drought without a Spaniard managing to win the race.
Mas performed consistently throughout the three weeks of racing, demonstrating great regularity and strength in the mountain stages that characterize the Vuelta. His consistency was rewarded with the final victory in the overall classification.
In the 21st stage, the final stage that ended in Granada, it was Norwegian Tobias Johannessen who stood out, winning the final sprint and securing the victory on the last day of the Tour of Spain.
With this victory, Enric Mas joins the select group of Spanish winners of the Vuelta and marks an important moment for Spanish cycling, which had been waiting for more than a decade for a new national champion of the race.
