Vuelta a España Stage 20: Landa Turns Around Terrible Season, Mas Poised for Race Win
sstokes
Mikel Landa won stage 20 of the Vuelta a España, his first Grand Tour stage victory in nine years. This isn't a comeback — it's one clean moment at the end of a season Landa himself called the worst of his career.
Landa's last Grand Tour stage win came in August 2021. Between then and now sits a pelvis fracture at Itzulia Basque Country, missed Giro and Tour starts, and his own admission before this Vuelta that he was nowhere near his best form. None of that gets undone by a solo attack on the Collado del Alguacil that dropped Tobias Halland Johannessen and Ramses Debruyne. It's just his last Grand Tour in Soudal Quick-Step colors ending on his terms instead of injury's.
