'A beautiful day' – Tadej Pogačar crushes Vuelta a España with 50km solo victory on stage four
World champion now leads race by more than three minutes
Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates claimed a dominant victory at stage four of the 2023 Vuelta a España, completing a 50.3km solo attack on the Collada de Beixalis climb. This extended his overall lead to 3 minutes and 21 seconds, marking the seventh longest solo of his career and his longest ever at a Grand Tour. The stage, Andorra la Vella's shortest road race, featured four climbs totalling over 3,000 meters of elevation gain.
Pogačar's move on the second climb saw him build a significant gap, comfortably overtaking front-runner Jarno Widar and Felix Gall within minutes. The win comes in a year where Pogačar has already achieved significant milestones, including his second world championship and a Tour de France victory.
