Tadej Pogačar dominates fourth stage of Vuelta a España

Tadej Pogačar has significantly strengthened his lead in the 2026 Vuelta a España. Following a weather-disrupted third stage, where heavy hail and storms forced the peloton to seek shelter in a mountain hotel, Pogačar delivered a dominant performance in the fourth stage.

Competing in a 104.8-kilometer route through Andorra, Pogačar launched a solo attack approximately 50 kilometers from the finish. He secured the stage victory with a 2-minute and 39-second lead over second-place finisher Jarno Widar. This victory expands his advantage in the general classification to 3 minutes and 21 seconds over Primož Roglič.

While the third stage was canceled due to extreme weather, the peloton received widespread praise for the hospitality of the IGESA Village Club Les Sorbiers, which provided shelter and supplies to the riders. The race now moves into Spain, with the fifth stage set to transition from Falset to Roquetes.
