Enric Mas maintains Vuelta lead amid extreme heat

Enric Mas maintains his lead in the Vuelta a España 2026 as the race enters its final week. Following a successful defense of the red jersey during Stage 14 at Sierra de la Pandera, where Marco Brenner secured a victory, Mas has established a 2:06 margin over Felix Gall and a 2:10 lead over Primoz Roglic.

Extreme heat conditions forced organizers to modify Stage 15, reducing the distance from Palma del Rio to Cordoba to 110.2 kilometers to protect rider health. Wout van Aert won the shortened stage in a five-man sprint, beating Alessandro Romele and Thibau Nys. Despite temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, Mas successfully defended his position in the general classification heading into the final rest day.
