2024 Vuelta a Espana GC Update after stage 4: Primoz Roglic takes over Red Jersey after brutal summit victory

Dealing the first general classification blow of the 2024 Vuelta a Espana, Primoz Roglic put any doubts over his form to bed with a brutal win ahead of Lennert Van Eetvelt on the stage 4 summit finish.

As a result, the Slovenian is now in a jersey he is very comfortable wearing, the Red Jersey of race leader the Vuelta a Espana. Holding an 8 second advantage over Joao Almeida, it's far from a race deciding gap but the first mental blow has been landed by the Slovenian leader of Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe.

In 3rd, comes the leading Spaniard at his home Grand Tour, Movistar Team's Enric Mas, 32 seconds down on Roglic. Antonio Tiberi and Lennert Van Eetvelt follow hinting to what could be a very exciting battle for the White Jersey of Best Young Rider at this Grand Tour.

Completing the top 10, Felix Gall sits 6th after a very bright performance on the final climb whilst somewhat surprisingly, it's Brandon McNulty who has proven the second best of the UAE Team Emirates brigade in 7th, with Mattias Skjelmose, Mikel Landa and Aleksandr Vlasov rounding out the top of the general classification standings.
