Pogačar’s Vuelta bid falls short as Mas bridges gap after bottle denial
Tadej Pogačar’s late solo on stage 6 of the Vuelta a España was halted when Enric Mas bridged up after a denied water bottle and a miscommunication on the feed, but Pogačar said dehydration played no role and later highlighted UAE’s hydration improvements as part of his team’s plan; he still won the stage in a sprint.
