Tadej Pogacar has extended his overall lead at the Vuelta a Espana after a hilly stage from Monaco to Manosque, where a late sprint saw Matthew Brennan secure his first Grand Tour stage win while Pogacar preserves the red jersey with a 9-second advantage.
Tronchon claims stage 10 with a tight sprint finish in Elche de la Sierra, while Enric Mas maintains the red jersey lead. Cort Nielsen and Nys finish second and third behind a late break that was neutralised before the line. Mas leads Roglic by 1:18 ahead of the rest of the field.
Pogačar has withdrawn from the Vuelta a España after a crash on stage eight left him with a concussion and multiple injuries. He will undergo surgery and remains in hospital for monitoring ahead of a return to competition after recovery. The race resumes with a mountain stage on Sunday.
Enric Mas has extended his overall lead after stage nine at the Vuelta a España, where Pogacar crashed out earlier in the race. Mas attacked late to win the stage, with Roglic and Gall in pursuit and Onley showing form. The field prepares for rest day and a stretch of climbs leading to Granada.
