Irishman Eddie Dunbar won Friday's 19th stage of the Vuelta a España 2026, while Spaniard Enric Mas maintained his overall lead with only one mountain stage remaining before Sunday's finale.

The 30-year-old Dunbar caught, and passed, Colombian Santiago Buitrago with just 300 meters left of the mountainous 210-kilometer slog from Velez-Malaga to Penas Blancas. 

"It's incredible, I really didn't expect this today," Dunbar said. "I even said in the team radio after about 50 or 60 kilometers that today wasn't my day. I wasn't feeling good. Then, I ended up in the break, and my legs came around a bit."

Buitrago struck out for home inside the final 2 kilometers to distance his three breakaway companions, including Dunbar, who initially did not react.

But the Pinarello Q36.5 rider launched his counter attack in the final kilometer and wasted little time in reeling in Buitrago, who is the leader of the King of the Mountains competition.

Dunbar finished 14 seconds ahead of Buitrago, with his British teammate, Thomas Gloag coming home in third, 23 seconds back.

They had been part of an initial 16-man breakaway that only escaped around halfway through a chaotic stage, but then broke up on the final climb to the finish.

Mas comfortably held onto his lead of 1 minute, 37 seconds over four-time Vuelta champion Primoz Roglic, as the overall contenders crossed the line together.

Roglic's Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe team and the EF Education-Easypost outfit of former Giro d'Italia winner Richard Carapaz tried to increase the pace on the 18-kilometer final climb to the finish.

But they were unable to exert any pressure on Mas, who followed comfortably as he bids for a first Vuelta title after three previous second-place finishes.
