Pogačar produces explosive finish to win the first stage of the Spanish Vuelta
Tadej Pogačar secured a thrilling victory in the opening time trial of the Spanish Vuelta, edging out British rider Ethan Hayter by just 0.09 seconds. The Slovenian cyclist completed the 9.5-kilometer course through Monaco's streets in 10 minutes and 57 seconds, leaving Hayter to finish four seconds behind. This marked Pogačar's first stage win in a Grand Tour, and his first red jersey as the leader of the Vuelta.
The win comes after Pogačar's impressive season, which includes three Tour de France victories and wins at the Tour de Suisse and Tour de Romandie.
