Soler Soloes to La Farrapona Win as Vingegaard Extends Vuelta Lead

UAE Team Emirates underscored its depth with yet another stage win despite racing without Tadej Pogačar.

Overview

  • Marc Soler attacked before the 17-kilometre La Farrapona climb and held on alone to take Stage 14 after 136 kilometres from Avilés.
  • Jonas Vingegaard edged João Almeida for second to collect bonus seconds and now leads overall by 48 seconds with a week to go.
  • UAE Team Emirates has won half of this year’s stages, including each of the last four, highlighting the team’s stage-winning form.
  • Tom Pidcock kept third in the general classification after being distanced late on the climb, as Jai Hindley’s late surge cut his deficit to 32 seconds.
  • Pro-Palestinian protests again slowed the neutral start, and Israel–Premier Tech raced in kits without the team name to reduce targeting.
