SGOn August 23, British cyclist Matt Brennan won the second stage of the Vuelta a España, a 214km race from Monaco to Manosque. The victory came as overall leader Tadej Pogacar maintained his advantage over Wout van Aert, who had briefly taken the lead during the race. Brennan, riding his first Grand Tour with the Visma-Lease a Bike team, capitalized on a tactical opportunity in the final kilometers to secure his biggest career win. Pogacar, who had already won the opening time trial, retained the yellow jersey heading into the next stage, which will take place in the French Pyrenees.
