Sprint king Matthew Brennan claimed a fifth Vuelta a España 2026 stage victory Wednesday as he edged a bunch sprint in Seville to win the 17th stage.

The 21-year-old Grand Tour debutant crossed the finish line ahead of Jordi Meeus and Magnus Cort.

General Classification leader Enric Mas moved one step closer to claiming a first Grand Tour victory as he maintained his lead of 2 minutes, 6 seconds on Felix Gall, with four-time Vuelta winner Primoz Roglic a further four seconds behind.

The stage was set up for the bunch sprint finale, without a single climb on the long, flat, 185-kilometer ride from Dos Hermanas to the Andalusian capital.

Sinuhe Fernandez and Enzo Paleni formed a two-man break early on, whipping up a gap of more than four minutes on the peloton, which was moving at a leisurely pace on another hot day with temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius.

The gap extended to over five minutes around the halfway point, with Visma then working hard to reduce it.

Groupama FDJ-United rider Paleni dropped Fernandez, but he was absorbed by the peloton with just 3 kilometers remaining after a monumental effort.

Young star Brennan came around Danish rider Cort to claim the sprint victory, holding off Belgium's Meeus, who crossed the line second.

As with his other stage victories, the Briton raised his hand to the air, this time with all of his fingers up to represent his five victories.

Brennan's victory puts him in a small bracket of riders, including Tadej Pogačar - who was overwhelming favorite to win this year's Vuelta before he suffered a season-ending injury in a crash in stage eight - to claim five or more stages at a single Grand Tour.

On Thursday, riders take on a 32.1-kilometer individual time trial from El Puerto de Santa Maria to Jerez de la Frontera in Stage 18, which is one of the last chances for Mas' GC contenders to cut down the gap on the Spaniard.
