Wout van Aert secured his third stage win in the Vuelta a España by outsprinting Quentin Pacher in the final moments of stage 10. Van Aert and Pacher had broken away from the peloton with 30km remaining, and Van Aert's victory was marked as particularly special due to the presence of his family. Marc Soler finished third, while overall leader Ben O'Connor maintained his red jersey with a lead of three minutes and 53 seconds over Primoz Roglic. Van Aert's win also saw him retain the green points jersey and move to the top of the mountains classification. O'Connor, who described the day as a 'perfect scenario,' anticipates a more decisive finale in the next stage given the challenging final climb.
