The last time a Spaniard had won a grand tour was Alberto Contador at the Giro d'Italia in 2015. In the last three editions the Vuelta had started from abroad: Lisbon in 2024, Turin in 2025 and Monaco in 2026.
Enric Mas is the winner of the Vuelta di Spagna 2026. The Majorcan Movistar rider is the first Spaniard to win a grand tour since 2015, when Alberto Contador won the Giro d'Italia. Second and third podium positions for the Slovenian Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and the Austrian Felix Gall (Decathlon). The last stage, a 112-kilometre street circuit in Granada, went to the Norwegian Tobias Johannessen of Uno-X, who beat the Italian from Astana Alessandro Romele in a two-man finish, who finished in tears after a tactically impeccable performance: third place for Ramses Debruyne (Alpecin-Premier Tech). Alhambra's final rise was decisive for Johannessen's fifth career victory. For the next edition the Vuelta di Spagna will return home: the departure will in fact be from Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia. In the last three editions the race started abroad: in 2024 from Lisbon, in 2025 from Turin and this year from the Principality of Monaco.
