Tactical switch at the Vuelta leaves Van Aert short of stage win

Visma-Lease a Bike attempted a tactical shift on stage 10 of the Vuelta to set up Wout van Aert with a strong lead-out and breaks controlled by Matthew Brennan and Sepp Kuss, following a two-stage build-up in which Brennan led attacks and delivered a pivotal lead-out. However, the uphill sprint ended with Van Aert finishing fourth, leaving the green jersey in his hands but the stage win eluding his team, as positioning and the closing corners narrowed his options. He praised his teammates for their effort and signaled continued pursuit of sprint glory.

Van Aert regrets missed confidence on Vuelta climb as green jersey bid persists

Wout van Aert attacked with a five-man break on stage 7 of the Vuelta a España, took 20 intermediate points and climbed strongly, but later said he underestimated himself on the final ascent. Andreas Leknessund won the stage, with Tobias Haaland Johannessen chasing in the finish. Van Aert remains two points clear of Tadej Pogačar in the green jersey standings (Pogačar wears red overall), while Visma’s Brennan remains a sprint threat. The green jersey fight continues as the race heads into tougher climbing.

Philippa York argues the Tour de France final Alpine week will be unrecognizable after Vingegaard’s Stage 15 crash, as Pogačar loses a key ally and rivals like Remco Evenepoel gain momentum, reshaping the GC battles, the green-jersey fight, and the Alps time-trial dynamic, with late-stage decisions and controversy over 2am drug testing adding extra scrutiny.

TTT twist and sprint boost could redefine the 2026 Tour de France

The 2026 Tour de France introduces a new team time trial format on stage 1 in Barcelona, where the team’s time is taken from the first rider to cross the line (with other riders earning their own GC times) and individual GC times in the TTT, plus a finish on Montjuïc after two short climbs. It also reshapes the points competition by increasing the winner’s points on five sprint stages to 70 and awarding 25 points for intermediate sprints, aiming to make the green jersey a true sprint battle and affecting early GC suspense—potentially tempering Tadej Pogačar’s dominance and shifting tactics toward sprinters.

"Van der Poel's Dominance Continues as Philipsen Claims Green Jersey in Tour de France"

Jasper Philipsen secured his second consecutive stage win at the Tour de France, also earning the green jersey as the leader of the points classification. The stage was marred by crashes, including one involving Fabio Jakobsen, but Philipsen denied causing the incident. His teammate Mathieu van der Poel, who helped set up the victory, was later fined and relegated for bumping another rider. Philipsen now holds a significant lead in the green jersey standings, with more sprint opportunities to come in the race.
