  "account": "Jakob Omrzel secured his first Grand Tour stage victory in the Vuelta a Espana, winning stage 12 in a solo effort. The 20-year-old Slovenian triumphed on the final 17km climb, finishing nearly two minutes ahead of Urko Berrade, with Santiago Buitrago of Colombia in third place. This victory brought Omrzel within 30 seconds of Oscar Onley in the best young rider classification. Earlier in the day, Mas broke away from a group of riders, including Primoz Roglic and Felix Gall, and extended his overall lead in the Vuelta. Tadej Pogacar, who led the race by almost four minutes, crashed out on stage eight, potentially ending his season with a broken collarbone. The Vuelta will continue in Andalusia, with upcoming stages featuring mountains and hills around Malaga and Granada's Sierra Nevada.",
