Tadej Pogačar dominates to win 4th stage of Spanish Vuelta and take control of the Grand Tour race
Tadej Pogačar secured a dominant victory in the fourth stage of the Spanish Vuelta, propelling him closer to a first-ever Grand Tour win. The defending Tour de France champion finished the grueling 105-kilometer mountain stage in Andorra 2 minutes, 39 seconds ahead of the chasers. Pogačar's lead in the overall standings expanded to 3 minutes, 21 seconds, with Primoz Roglic and Enric Mas trailing by 11 seconds each.
The Slovenian rider, entering the Vuelta for the first time since 2019, had previously claimed three Grand Tour stage victories in 2019 but had been absent from the competition since then. Pogačar's win marked a significant step towards his goal of completing all three Grand Tours, a feat achieved by only nine male riders in history. The Vuelta concludes in Granada on September 13.
