It did not reach the Return to Spain with a leader to seek the general classification as is usual in its structure, but Visma-Lease a Bike He is by no means tiptoeing through the Spanish round. Matthew Brennan This Tuesday he achieved the sixth stage victory for the Dutch team in this edition of the race and this leaves his team on the verge of achieving a milestone that it has never achieved before.

With four partial victories for Brennan and two for Van Aert so far in the career, Visma-Lease a Bike adds a total of six stage wins. Since the structure was launched in 1984, under the Kwantum umbrella, Those six partial wins are the team’s top in a single grand stage tour.

He has achieved them in four times and two of them have been in 2026. After the exhibition of Giro d’Italia won by Jonas Vingegaard (five stage wins for him and one more for Sepp Kuss), Visma has already equaled his six stage wins from then. Before I had only achieved them in the 2022 Tour (Jumbo-Visma with three from Van Aert, two from Vingegaard and one from Christophe Laporte) and, with the sponsorship of Superconfex-Yoko, in the 1988 Tour (four by Jean-Paul van Poppel, one by Jelle Nijdam and one by Rolf Gölz).

Visma-Lease a Bike has five days left to try to beat its own record and the first is this one Wednesday, the grand preview of Thursday’s time trial which aims to be decisive for the general. Wait a flat day of 185 kilometers between Dos Hermanas and Seville, hence Brennan He once again appears as the great favorite for victory.

He has been unbeatable so far in the finals due to speed. Neither Bryan Coquard (Cofidis), nor Vito Braet (Lotto Intermarché), nor Jordi Meeus (Red Bull-BORA) nor Magnus Corte (Uno-X) were able to surpass him this Tuesday in a new opportunity for the sprinters. This Wednesday aims to be the last chance for the sprinters.

Therefore, it should be another quiet day for the favorites. Enric Mas will defend his income at the head of the general, 2:06 about Felix Gall and of 2:10 about Primoz Roglic, on a day in which he will try to avoid problems and ride in the peloton without any problems. To reach the decisive days of the Vuelta in a good position, mistakes in the last appointment before these are not worth it.
