Britain's Matthew Brennan surged to his fourth stage win of this year’s Vuelta a Espana in La Rabida on Tuesday. The 21-year-old from Darlington, making his Grand Tour debut, was set up by Visma-Lease a Bike teammate Wout van Aert before securing victory in a group sprint to conclude stage 16.
Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) and Vito Braet (Lotto-Intermarche) took the second and third podium places. Brennan stated, "It's unbelievable. Four victories, and the plan was for one." He added, "I really trusted Wout and followed his wheel all the way. It's incredible that he can put you in such a perfect position in such a chaotic race."
The general classification standings saw little change, with Spain’s Enrico Mas still leading, over two minutes ahead of Felix Gall and Primoz Roglic. Britain’s Oscar Onley is currently in fifth place.
