Matthew Brennan emerged triumphant from a bunch sprint to claim Stage 2 victory at the Vuelta a España 2026, while overall favorite Tadej Pogačar retained the red jersey Sunday.

Briton Brennan was followed over the line by Spaniard Pau Miquel and Pogačar after a long 214.3-kilometer stage with over 3,000 meters of climbing, leaving Monaco and heading to Manosque in France.

Ethan Hayter, who was pipped by Pogačar in Saturday's opening individual time trial, was part of a four-man breakaway that led for much of the race Sunday, though the peloton never let them escape too far up the road.

The Briton stayed in front to win the intermediate sprint and claim six bonus seconds. It gave him the chance to take Pogačar's red jersey, but he could not stay with the UAE Team Emirates rider on the slight uphill finish, with Pogačar clinging on to red.

Wout van Aert made a move under 2 kilometers before the finish, with Pogačar following, but the peloton caught them, giving Visma-Lease A Bike's Brennan the chance to claim the stage win.

Hayter was dropped and came in 31 seconds behind Pogačar in the lead group, who picked up four bonus seconds too for his third place.

"We started off with the ambition of Wout trying to get in the red jersey today," Brennan explained. "We had that plan, and then I was always going to be in the background for the sprint in case that plan (didn't work)... and that's exactly what happened."

Brennan is competing in a Grand Tour for the first time and claimed his first stage win at this level.

"Hopefully it's not the last one, but it's nice," he added.

Slovenian cycling superstar Pogačar, a five-time Tour de France winner, is the overwhelming favorite to win the race and complete a Grand Tour career hat trick.

Only a huge shock will prevent him finishing the race in Granada on Sept. 13 as the ninth rider to manage the feat and just the fourth to do a TDF-Vuelta double in the same season.

On Monday, Stage 3 riders head 174 kilometers from Gruissan to Font Romeu, the race's first high-altitude finale.
