A shortened route on stage 15 of the Vuelta a Espaa saw Wout van Aert triumph in Crdoba, as he won the sprint from a five-rider breakaway. The Visma-Lease a Bike rider seized an opportunity to jump out of the peloton at the intermediate sprint with around 30km to go and drew a small group clear, which stayed away to the finish.Vuelta a Espaa 2026 stage 15: Palma del Ro > Crdoba (110km)1.
