German Marco Brenner fought off Santiago Buitrago to claim a mountaintop victory from a long-range breakaway in Stage 14 of the Vuelta a España 2026 on Saturday.

Overall leader Enric Mas extended his lead, as he finished 25 seconds ahead of veteran four-time Vuelta winner Primoz Roglic, who slipped from second to third overall behind Felix Gall.

Mas leads Gall by 2 minutes, 6 seconds, with Roglic just four seconds back ahead of Sunday's 15th stage, which organizers have shortened by 80 kilometers due to extreme heat.

Spain's Cristian Rodriguez finished the stage third at the end of the 154.5-kilometer ride from Jaen to La Pandera and climbed into the top 10 overall.

"I had bad memories of this climb, because I think it was in 2022 that Primoz put 30-something seconds into me," Mas said. "Today was different. Luckily, it was the other way around. Little by little, we're gaining time."Mario

A large early breakaway established a gap of more than seven minutes on the peloton, including Mas.

With around 52 kilometers remaining, Kevin Vermaerke attacked to take a solo lead, which the American maintained until Georg Steinhauser caught him with 15 kilometers left.

The German left Vermaerke behind as he began the final climb up the Sierra de la Pandera, where weekend crowds cheered on the riders.

Guillaume Martin came across to join Steinhauser, followed by Mario Aparicio, opening a gap of nearly a minute on the rest of the break.

Buitrago and Brenner caught them with just over 3 kilometers remaining before forging ahead.

Buitrago attacked first, but Brenner came past him to claim victory.

"I cannot really believe it," Brenner said. "Until now, I was not feeling like myself, and I was struggling with some sickness early in the race and had a crash.

"I really wanted to show myself, but also my teammates who have been working really hard for me the whole time, that I can be up there."

Further down the slope, the red jersey-wearing Mas and Gall dropped Roglic and Richard Carapaz in the General Classification battle.

Roglic finished 25 seconds behind Mas and Gall, with Ecuadorian Carapaz, fourth overall, a further six seconds back.

Cycling superstar Tadej Pogačar was leading the race until a crash on Stage 8 forced him to abandon his bid to win a first Vuelta and become only the ninth man to complete the full set of Grand Tours.

He underwent surgery on a fractured collarbone and confirmed on Saturday that his season was over.

Plans Adjusted For Vuelta a España 2026 Stage 15

Sunday's 15th stage, from Palma del Rio to Cordoba, originally planned to be a 189.7-kilometer route, was cut down to 110.2 kilometers by organizers because of extreme heat conditions in the region. Temperatures are expected to reach as high as 39 degrees Celsius in Cordoba on Sunday.

"Due to the high temperatures forecast for tomorrow, La Vuelta has modified the route of Stage 15 following the activation of the extreme weather protocol," organizers Unipublic said in a statement on Saturday.

Unipublic said the decision was made "with the aim of protecting the health of the riders and ensuring the best possible conditions for the competition."

The Vuelta's decision to shorten Sunday's stage comes after the Tour de France was forced to take a similar measure this summer because of extreme heat.

Tour organizer, ASO, which owns Unipublic, cut 30 kilometers from the ninth stage in July after authorities placed the Correze region on red alert for an "exceptionally intense heatwave."

Temperatures had topped 35C for much of the race, with some stages reaching more than 40C. It was the first time in the Tour's history that a stage had been shortened because of heat.

Riders used ice vests, ice socks and cold drinks, among other methods, to try to keep their body temperatures down.
