  "account": "Matthew Brennan secured his fourth victory in the 2026 Vuelta a España, on stage 16, as his team, Visma-Lease a Bike, guided him to a comfortable win with a final five-kilometer lead out by teammate Wout van Aert. The 21-year-old, who has also won stages 2, 5 and 11, finished ahead of Bryan Coquard of Cofidis. Brennan, who has expressed his desire to compete in the Tour de France, stated that the UK start next year was a goal he set two years ago. He emphasized that the team's collective effort on the day, including van Aert's lead out, contributed to his winning performance. Despite the challenging conditions, the stage remained a bunch sprint, with no crosswinds causing any major disruptions.",
