Another victory for UAE - Jay Vine takes win in Belagua as Jonas Vingegaard takes over red jersey
Cycling
Jay Vine has won stage 10 of the Vuelta a Espana, his second of the race, reinforcing his lead in the KOM classification. The UAE Team Emirates - XRG rider took the victory in a day where his team and teammate Juan Ayuso took over headlines over their split up.
This was a very fast day, finishing ahead of schedule after half of the stage saw a fierce fight to form a breakaway, on the flat roads heading into the Pyrenees where the riders had a sole big climb to tackle. Remco Evenepoel had been the last rider to win in Larra Belagua, and this time around it was again a breakaway succeeding.
A group of around 30 riders went up the road, albeit late in the day, including William Lecerf Junior who had a small chance of taking over the race lead, two UAE riders including Jay Vine, and many more.
With so many riders present and a lot of rolling roads before the final ascent, there were plenty attacks and a selection was made before the riders reached the final climb. In fact only around 10 riders entered the final climb within a shot of the win, with Alec Segaert entering it alone in front, and a small group chasing.
Javier Romo was the first to move in the start of the ascent, but soon enough with Segaert caught, Jay Vine would go on to make his move, linking up with Pablo Castrillo and then dropping the Spaniard with 5 kilometers to go. Another victory with ease for the Australian, with Castrillo and Romo finishing second and third for Movistar.
In the peloton Juan Ayuso, who put out some quite controversial statements against the UAE management at the start of the day, led out the start of the climb together with Mikkel Bjerg to prepare an attack from João Almeida. The Portuguese made two moves but was unable to drop Jonas Vingegaard and a few other riders.
Matteo Jorgenson kept control of the group throughout most of the climb, with the main GC riders arriving at the end of the climb together. However Vingegaard is the new race leader following the time gain on Torstein Traeen.

- Hmmm, you seem to have a very convenient black and white view of things. Perhaps you haven’t been around much to discover how complex problems can become over time with people who know how to control, manipulate (or worse) others so gradually or subtly that you arrive at an irresolvable situation before you realise. This is how many inconveniences get introduced to the young, naïve, passionate or “desperate”, knowing they are not armed, protected or strong enough to defend themselves once it’s too late. Why do you think omerta culture is so widespread, why do you think so many people continue to go through so many awful things in life that others can’t understand anyone getting into? Life may be far more jolly for you but you would do well to understand (or reflect more on) the real world to refrain from being so quick to criticise those in a hard spot that may have genuine reason for speaking out.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Seriously do you think when somebody gets into a serious accident, the ambulance is called by the hurt person?🤦 there is always a buddy system in place for a risky job. police , firefighters etc so that if someone gets hurt, the other call that in.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I get the point totally. We live in the snowflake society where some riders forget they are getting paid to ride and get results. When they have a few issues they try to look outside of the real issue instead of themselves. It odd so many of the team are making no complaints and getting on with their job. If you do not like what you do find another job simples. Tough love as my mum would say.paultryan200207-11-2026
- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
