Enric Mas is the reigning Vuelta a España champion: he won the 2026 race by 2:15 over Primož Roglič, with Felix Gall third at 2:44, after Tadej Pogačar crashed out on Stage 8 while leading. The organizers have not announced the route or dates of the next Vuelta as of September 25, 2026, so no winner odds are quoted here yet.
When the next race is presented, this page will carry its route, its dates and the market. Until then it holds the last race as the record.

Final general classification, 2026

| Place | Rider | Team | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enric Mas | Movistar | 73h 52′ 55″ |
| 2 | Primož Roglič | Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe | +2:15 |
| 3 | Felix Gall | Decathlon CMA CGM | +2:44 |
| 4 | Richard Carapaz | EF Education-EasyPost | +6:54 |
| 5 | Sepp Kuss | Visma-Lease a Bike | +8:45 |
| 6 | Oscar Onley | Netcompany Ineos | +9:28 |
| 7 | Jakob Omrzel | Bahrain Victorious | +10:38 |
| 8 | Clément Berthet | Groupama-FDJ United | +11:41 |
| 9 | Cristian Rodríguez | XDS Astana | +11:59 |
| 10 | Harold Tejada | XDS Astana | +12:51 |
Tobias Johannessen of Uno-X Mobility won the final stage in a two-man sprint with Alessandro Romele. Mas crossed the line with his six Movistar teammates beside him.
The crash that decided the race
Pogačar came to the Vuelta as the five-time Tour de France champion, having won his fifth Tour in July, and he had led since winning the opening stage. Before Stage 8, a flat run from Puçol to Xeraco, he was 3:50 ahead of Mas. He crashed about 20 miles from the finish, flew over his handlebars and could not continue.
Mas took the red jersey that evening and did not wear it at the ceremony. “To get the red jersey thanks to a crash, it’s not a good feeling,” he said. He won the race from there, 13 stages later. He had been runner-up in 2018, 2021 and 2022 and third in 2024.
For a bettor, the lesson is about short prices over three weeks. A price of 1.10 in decimal odds, or -1000, implies a 90.9% chance, and a crash on a flat stage sits inside the other 9.1%.
The other jerseys
| Classification | Winner | Team | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Points | Wout van Aert | Visma-Lease a Bike | 326 points, 53 ahead of Matthew Brennan |
| Mountains | Santiago Buitrago | Bahrain Victorious | 78 points, 16 ahead of van Aert |
| Young rider | Oscar Onley | Netcompany Ineos | 1:10 ahead of Jakob Omrzel |
| Team | Decathlon CMA CGM | 38:00 ahead of XDS Astana |
Van Aert became the 13th Belgian to win the points classification. Onley was sixth overall as well as the best young rider.
Before the next Vuelta
Roglič, second this year, has won the Vuelta four times, and Mas now has one. When a market opens, turn each price into a chance before you bet: +1800 implies 5.3%, and +500 implies 16.7%. A futures bet on a three-week race is worth making only when you rate the rider’s chance higher than that.
