Stage 5 Vuelta a España winner Matthew Brennan (Visma-Lease a Bike) has recognised that generally speaking trying to beat the best rider in the world, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) is virtually impossible. But in terms of stage wins, there is still room to try to challenge the Slovenian.
Brennan was talking minutes after capturing his second victory in the Vuelta in four days, which he'd claimed in part thanks to a textbook leadout from Visma teammates Christophe Laporte and Wout van Aert, which he followed up with his own unstoppable dash for the line.
