Wout van Aert wins stage 13 of the Vuelta a España on Friday, taking his fourth career stage victory. Racing in scorching heat in southern Spain, he finishes first in a hilly 192-kilometre ride from Almuñécar to Loja, beating Valentin Paret-Peintre in the breakaway.
Enric Mas retains the red jersey after the stage. The reports describe a hot and sunny day as a key backdrop to the race, which features a hilly route and a decisive effort by the leading group. While the outlets focus on van Aert’s sprint to the line and stage success, they agree on the overall outcome for the general classification leader: Mas keeps the lead.
Some coverage includes additional cycling results from other events, but both sources about this story align on the main Vuelta stage result and the jersey position.
