UAE Team Emirates' Brandon McNulty has survived a late comeback from Maxim Van Gils to continue his impressive start to 2024 with victory at GP Miguel Indurain.
Seven men managed to work their way into the day's breakaway and as the peloton gave them some leeway, their advantage quickly built up to over six minutes.
As the race began to break down though, the break were soon caught, with a threatening counter-attack getting a gap. Included in the new lead group, Stephen Williams, Oscar Onley, Andrea Bagioli and Nans Peters in a nine-man attack.
Knowing the danger of the move though, UAE Team Emirates took control of the peloton and swiftly pulled back the attack with around 12km to go.
After repeated attacks from various riders, the first man to get clear separation was UAE Team Emirates' Brandon McNulty.
Heading into the final 3km, the American has eked out a 13 second advantage over the chasing group led by Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL.
Unhappy to let others do the chase, Maxim Van Gils countered with 2km to go, quickly bridging across to McNulty and attempting to go straight over the top although, the American was fighting hard to keep contact.
In the sprint for the line, McNulty opened things up and Van Gils was simply unable to come around. Completing the podium in third, Oscar Onley.

- WTF is Pogi's hater Zonneveld talking about??? He was against Pogi waving to Slovenian fans from an organisation car as fans caught a glimpse of Pogi at the European Championships in Slovenia. The S.O.B. couldn't resist poking fun at his attention-grabbing appearance. What Zonneveld says has no relevance.PogiSloFans15-11-2026

- The greatest ever is a crazy claim. But in discussions about sport in our local media, among people with no particular interest in cycling, he has been the first person they've thought of when giving examples of exceptional athletes.Hills3315-11-2026

- Raise thine hand if the money you have made for retirement slips away on poor investments.Most of us will outlive our financial comforts because we don't have the financial acumen to ensure a comfortable lifelong retirement and that is a statistical fact not my opinion.Many millionaires have pissed their money away or had it taken away by so called conniving "financial advisors".The world of wealth is a dangerous place that most of us will never experience nor appreciate.
Brucegel15-11-2026 - You are interested in Pogi for one reason only, you feel like you are somehow related because you share some vague geographical identity. Other than that you have very little interest in cycling as all your posts show, if it can’t be connected to Pogi you have nothing to post. That said, recent activity here shows we are attracting quite a crowd from his region.Jumpyjohn15-11-2026
- From knowing past cycling stars with shops I can only say, think it through. Not only is it mundane after a while but it really doesn’t take you out of the limelight, in the end you’ll be trying to stay away from the place yourself whilst all your fans keep coming for you.Jumpyjohn15-11-2026
- Careful investment? I think he can live very comfortably with zero investments, what does he need more? The world would do well if more people set a target for how much they need or would make them “happy” and then stop worrying about perpetually having to make more.Jumpyjohn15-11-2026
- Yes, Roglic could theoretically have beaten Sepp. Jonas must have had complete confidence that he could come back and win the Vuelta another year. Visma had not allowed Roglic to ride the Tour that year, so his future did not look so bright, despite his narrow Giro win..Hills3315-11-2026
- So far, a good series about riders before my time, even if the text feels AI generated like so much on this site. About the rider, he seems like one of many who are active fan favorites but don’t survive in the stories of cycling, a few decades later - I didn’t really know anything about him and this was a good read, thank you!RidesHills15-11-2026
