Eyes off La Vuelta 🇪🇸
A journey from Monaco to Granada.
The hardest and hilliest route I can remember, and the Spanish heat that shaped and affected everyone during the race.
So many stories and moments to remember.
From Pogačar’s incredible form at the start to the cruel luck of his crash.
That iconic hailstorm a few days earlier, which gave us one of those stories that only cycling can create.
From the resurgence of old rockers like Landa, Dunbar and Küng to the discovery of new talents like Omrzel and Onley, and seeing the dreams of Tobias Halland Johannessen and Marco Brenner become reality with their stage wins.
Roglič and Gall giving everything to fight for the podium. Carapaz and Kuss refusing to give up.
Wout van Aert and Matthew Brennan turning Visma into a stage-winning machine.
And Enric Mas. First with a stage victory, and then with his first Grand Tour, earning his place back in the peloton.
I’ll remember La Vuelta ’26.
