Landa Wins Penultimate Stage; Mas Nears Vuelta a España Title

Mikel Landa has claimed victory on the penultimate stage of the Vuelta a España, marking a memorable day for Spanish cycling. The veteran rider's win came as his compatriot Enric Mas moved to the brink of securing the overall title.

Mas, riding for Movistar, successfully navigated the challenging 186km mountain stage in the Sierra Nevada. He maintained his lead in the general classification by staying with his main rivals, including Primoz Roglic, Felix Gall, and Richard Carapaz, demonstrating resilience under pressure. This performance positions Mas to become the first Spanish winner of the Vuelta a España in 12 years.
