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.

- I see (elsewhere) that Alaphilippe had more to say than what got relayed in this stub. Me: he was very good early but his latter third trajectory was the pits. His old boss did what he could (huffed and puffed) but Julian couldn't get his greatness back. Sometimes I wonder if crashes that didn't look like much changed the course of the rider.flyer14-11-2026
- I wouldn't classify it as a gift because the nasty consequences of taking it from Sepp would have been great and would persist and he knew it.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. Tratnik's good and Red Bull's better so Tratnik may get what he wants.flyer14-11-2026
- Ok. So just saying he wasn't enjoying racing anymore is some kind of explanation? Me saying I don't enjoy his explanation is more explaining than he did.flyer14-11-2026
- Buitrago, was he their best rider in 2026? He's the chief loss for them and Martinez and Tiberi (especially) have to step up or they will be overtaken by Bahrain's younger riders like Omrzel. I'm still somewhat high on Martinez but Tiberi, after showing signs of promise, has fizzled. Bahrain still has a good team but they need to improve and exceed expectations. I'd be happy if Mohoric could manage to return to his better form for maybe one last year at least.flyer14-11-2026
- Hmmm, "... I just gained 30 seconds purely off the bike. Because it's really a big, big improvement compared to the previous bike". Is that marketing for Specialized or serious valid hype, or something in between? Very likely the former.flyer14-11-2026
- Nothing revelatory or controversial. Why do we have to report on Bruyneel's or Armstrong's thinking. It's a shame and enough that the Move's on TV and that people watch it .flyer14-11-2026
- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
