  "account": "Spanish cyclist Enric Mas, a member of the Movistar team, claimed his first and historic Vuelta a Espana victory at Granada on Sunday. Mas, 31, edged out four-time champion Primoz Roglic by 2 minutes and 15 seconds in the general classification. This marked the first time a Spaniard won the prestigious race since Alberto Contador's triumph in 2014. Mas inherited the red jersey from Tadej Pogacar, who had to withdraw from the race after a crash on stage eight. Mas's victory was a long time coming, as he had been runner-up in the Vuelta three times previously. His win was celebrated by his team, including his six teammates who crossed the finish line together. Mas expressed his joy and gratitude, stating that the victory was special and that he had fought hard for it. The race concluded with the Norwegian rider Tobias Johannessen winning the final stage in Granada, which was initially neutralized due to safety concerns.",
