Vuelta a Espana 2026 Classifications Update Stage 14 - Enric Mas strengthens red as Felix Gall leapfrogs Primoz Roglic
CyclingSaturday, 05 September 2026 at 18:06
The first red jersey of the 2026 Vuelta a Espana will be decided immediately in Monaco, where a 9.4-kilometre individual time trial opens a race featuring more than 58,000 metres of climbing, repeated summit finishes and a second race against the clock later in the final week.
This live classifications hub will be updated after every stage with the latest General Classification, Points Classification, Mountains Classification and Best Young Rider standings, tracking the fight for the red, green, polka-dot and white jerseys from Stage 1 on August 22 through to the final stage in Granada on September 13.
The overall battle will be shaped by repeated opportunities for the climbers, from the early Pyrenean and Andorran tests to Calar Alto, Sierra de la Pandera, Penas Blancas and the decisive Collado del Alguacil. The two individual time trials and bonus seconds provide further chances for the gaps between the main contenders to change.
Sprint finishes and intermediate sprints will drive the points competition, breakaways can quickly transform the mountains standings and the white jersey will develop alongside many of the same stages that decide the general classification. Each update will show the latest standings after the day's racing and highlight the important changes across all four competitions.

- Good to see uae out the picture, we just need bahrain to move right off the leaderboard.
Andrew05-09-2026 - Not only his ego that needs it, not sure how he is going to get up without Tadej Pogacar there to “motivate” him.Andrew05-09-2026
- Surprised it took you so long sweetie darling. Good to see you go Americano. Your hatred and bigotry will not be missed and this cycling site, the sport you do not follow, will be better off without you.Andrew05-09-2026
- It is still a big improvement to be able to compete for a result for Almeida. On stage 12 (I think) he showed his first indication of returning to form by setting a good pace in the breakaway, but, finishing 48th, he didn't get a result. 10th place is a significant improvement. If he carries on at this rate we could see him triumph at the end
Rafionain-Glas05-09-2026 - My bad. I read it as 8 seasons till 2032. It is quite fascinating how when you read something wrong the first time you read it wrong again the next time and it takes someone to point it out for you.Rafionain-Glas05-09-2026
- Roglič is still the main rival. He can take 2+ min on Mas if Mas has a bad day, and you never know what happens in the final two daysRafionain-Glas05-09-2026
- Their plan B was for a slightly sick or injured Tadej. This was plan F, the unthinkable. A case study in a team falling apart without their leader. Almeida was not that far behind the winner today, in tenth, but seemed stuck in mud. I feel for them, though. With Movistar, it's the exact opposite.Hills3305-09-2026
- One more thing before I leave this site... At first I was shocked, but now my disappointment isn’t that big. In fact, it’s a blessing in disguise that Pogi wasn’t injured even more seriously. The surgery was successful, Tadej is positive, and he’ll come back even stronger next year... 100%. No cyclist is as mentally strong as Pogi. Tadej knows exactly why he is the best cyclist in the world, how he got there, and what he needs to do to become even better. Tadej is regarded as the GOAT because, through his racing style, mindset, and results, he embodies everything that existed during cycling’s golden era, while at the same time pushing the boundaries of modern sport. He isn’t just a specialist in one area; he is the most versatile and dominant cyclist of the modern era. So eat your hearts out, Pogi haters. Capish? Adios... Arrivederci... and goodbye!!!PogiSloFans05-09-2026
- 8 seasons? What don't you understand? From 2019 to 2026 is already 8 seasons. From 2027 to 2032 will be additional 6 seasons... all together meaning 14 seasons. Pogi said, not so long ago, that he will never leave UAE, even if he won't compete anymore. He will stay with them in some other way or form: maybe an advisor, a trainer, a DS - Directeur Sportif ... it will be something.PogiSloFans05-09-2026
