Dunbar Wins Vuelta Stage 19, Mas Retains Lead

Irish cyclist Eddie Dunbar won Stage 19 of the Vuelta a España, overtaking mountain-classification leader Santiago Buitrago with 500 meters remaining on the summit finish at Peñas Blancas. The 30-year-old, riding for Pinarello Q36.5, secured his third Vuelta stage victory and first win for the team after missing three months following an accident and ankle injury. Dunbar’s teammate Thomas Gloag finished third, with coordinated attacks from Gloag and Marcel Camprubi helping Dunbar conserve energy for his decisive move. Enric Mas retained the overall lead, holding a 1:37 advantage over Primož Roglič ahead of the mountainous penultimate stage.
