Bahrain-Victorious Slovenian cyclistJakob Omrzel won the twelfth stage of the Return to Spain 2026 in Calar Alto this Thursday on a great full cycling day, while the leader of the A0Enric Mas secured the first place in the overall ranking by overtaking Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-BORA), Felix Galli (Decathlon) and the rest of the overall ranking.

This one from Calar Alto was the queen stage of the 81st Return to Spain and has responded to the forecasts of a great spectacle throughout the day, which has led to a double rivalry: on the one hand, the victory of the stage by the 30 runners who have taken part in the getaway of the day; on the other hand, the fight of the general, in which Enric Masremains, at least for the moment, the strongest and seems to be becoming stronger.

Thus, the last winner, Omrzel, a 20-year-old who is completing a brilliant Return to Spain, and his teammate\ u00A0 Pello Bilbao (Bahrain-Victorious) and Navarro Urko Berrade (Kern Pharma) have been among the participants.

With regard to the group of cyclists fighting for the red jersey, Enric Mashas given an exhibition. His attack on Calar Alto has given him 27 seconds of prize and has dealt a new blow to his rivals because he is defending perfectly the red jersey he has been wearing since last weekend.

Friday will be the thirteenth stage, 192.8 km between Almuñécar and Loja, in which no special is expected for the general.
