GC Update Vuelta a Espana 2025 Stage 6 - Jonas Vingegaard loses Red Jersey again as breakaway shake up the standings

The general classification at the 2025 Vuelta a Espana has been shaken up once more on stage 6 as a strong breakaway prevailed on the first mountain top finish of the Grand Tour to take not only the stage win, but also the Red Jersey.

Jay Vine was the winner of the day, but arguably the biggest winner was Bahrain - Victorious' Norwegian talent Torstein Traeen. The 30-year-old finished 2nd on the day, but through his breakaway escapades, he rises 25 places in the GC standings to unseat Jonas Vingegaard from the very top and take a relatively firm grip on the Red Jersey.

Traeen now leads the Vuelta by 31 seconds from former Giro d'Italia leader Bruno Armirail, with Lorenzo Fortunato and Louis Vervaeke - both also from the day's breakaway - in 3rd and 4th at 1:01 and 1:58 respectively. Vingegaard then rounds out the top-5, still best placed of the 'genuine' Red Jersey challengers, but now 2:33 down on the race lead.

Joao Almeida (+2:41) looked in trouble for a moment on the final climb, but recovered well to cross alongside Vingegaard and co, with Giulio Ciccone (+2:42), Matteo Jorgenson (+2:49), Jai Hindley (+2:53) and Giulio Pellizzari (+2:53) closing out the top-10 of the GC standings.
