Ineos Grenadiers rider Omar Fraile has won the final stage of Vuelta a Andalucía. He beat Alessandro Covi in the final sprint and secured the win.
Andrea Pasqualon completed the podium and Tadej Pogacar took the overall victory.
Seven riders, namely Kevin Colleoni, Dries De Bondt, Erik Fetter, Pascal Eenkhoorn, Xabier Isasa, Dries Van Gestel, and Vincent Van Hemelen, established a breakaway early in the race. The group worked together to create a gap of 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
With 40 kilometres remaining in the race, De Bondt decided to separate himself from the rest of the breakaway group and ride solo. This tactical decision ended up being the correct one, as the peloton caught the other riders in the breakaway with 24 kilometres to go. However, De Bondt's lead was limited to just 18 seconds.
His solo ride came to an end 8.6 kilometres before the finish as the peloton caught up with him. Tadej Pogacar decided to lead out for his teammate Alessandro Covi. But Omar Fraile sneaked behind, and it was up to the duo to choose the final winner.
Omar Fraile was the first to cross the finish line and secure the win. Alessandro Covi followed behind and took silver. Andrea Pasqualon completed the podium.
