Enric Mas (Movistar Team, ESP) remains overall leader of the Vuelta a España 2026 after Stage 14 (Jaén → Sierra de La Pandera, September 5, 2026)
Probability
68%
Enric Mas leads the Vuelta 2026 GC after Stage 11 (as of September 3) by 1:18 over Primož Roglič (BORA-hansgrohe) and 1:39 over Felix Gall (Decathlon). Tadej Pogačar abandoned after a crash in Stage 8. Stage 14 ends with the HC summit finish at Sierra de La Pandera (11.8 km at 7.5% avg, up to ~15%). For Roglič to take the leader's jersey he would need to gain over 1:18 on a single ascent — historically very rare. Mas has Movistar fully deployed behind him. Confirmed by UCI results or cyclingnews.com by September 5, 2026.
