Cian Uijtdebroeks Vuelta a España withdrawal

Overview

Belgian cyclist Cian Uijtdebroeks, riding for the Movistar Team, withdrew from the 2026 Vuelta a España following a crash during the second stage. The incident resulted in a fracture to his left ankle.

Uijtdebroeks initially attempted to continue the race, completing the fourth stage in Andorra la Vella. He finished in last place, 26 minutes and 11 seconds behind the stage winner, Tadej Pogačar, and showed signs of significant physical and emotional distress.

Following further medical examinations, the Movistar Team confirmed that the injury was more severe than initially estimated. Consequently, Uijtdebroeks did not start the fifth stage. This withdrawal follows a previous early exit from the Tour de France due to illness.
