Enric Mas is set to win the Vuelta a Espana after defending his overall lead during the penultimate stage on Saturday. Riding for Movistar, the Spanish rider protects his advantage through a section featuring five categorized climbs in the mountains, stretching or maintaining a margin over his main rival, Primož Roglič.
Multiple reports describe Mas and Roglič as the primary contenders for the top two places heading into the final day. Félix Gall is also positioned for a podium finish in third overall after Saturday’s racing. The outcome is still determined by Sunday’s final stage, which is described as a 112-kilometer flat ride to Granada, with the finish in the medieval city.
One outlet frames the moment as Mas’s steady control of the race and highlights his record of finishing second three times previously at the Vuelta. The shared focus across sources remains on Mas protecting his lead in the mountains and the final, flatter stage that could determine how the podium places are arranged.
