Overview
- On Sunday organisers froze the general classification before the final Granada circuit and neutralised the last laps for safety, allowing Mas and his Movistar team to ride the closing kilometres without risk.
- Tadej Pogačar crashed out on stage eight while leading the race by nearly four minutes, removing the pre-race favourite and creating the opening Mas exploited.
- Mikel Landa won the penultimate king stage to Collado del Alguacil with a solo move that proved decisive for the final gaps among the top riders.
- The final podium saw Enric Mas first, Primož Roglič second at 2 minutes 15 seconds behind, and Felix Gall third at 2 minutes 44 seconds.
- Mas's triumph caps a long career of near-misses—he had finished second three times and third once at the Vuelta—and marks the first Spanish overall winner since Alberto Contador in 2014.
