The top two riders in the Vuelta a Espana went toe-to-toe on stage 13, one of the toughest stages of this year’s race, with Joao Almeida holding off race leader Jonas Vingegaard for victory.
The Portuguese’s maiden win at the Vuelta was a sixth of the race for UAE Team Emirates-XRG, and his second at a grand tour after winning a stage of the Giro d’Italia in 2023.
