Matthew Brennan did not fail in Seville, and for the fifth time he won the Return to Spain
As planned, the eighteenth stage of the 81st edition of the race has been decided by sprint and Brennan has once again been the best. The Return to Spain is now focused on Thursday's counterclockwork, which could be very important for the final general.
Matthew Brennan won his fifth win in the 2026 Tour of Spain.
The British cyclist Matthew Brennan of the Visma Lease a Bike team wonthe eighteenth stage of the Return toSpain 2026 in a sprint in Seville on Wednesday, with no significant changes in the overall ranking, while Enric Mas had no problem maintaining the red jersey.
In the stage there have been three great protagonists: on the one hand, of course, Brennan, who has won again, and in total he has five stage wins (his team has won seven stages); but it is also worth praising the work of Sinuhe Fernandez of Burgos Burpellet BH and Enzo Paleni of Groupama FDJ United, who have escaped almost at the beginning of the day and have been leading the race.
On Thursday, in the eighteenth stage, the Return to Spain 2026 will have a decisive day, with a 32.1 km counterclockwork at El Puerto de Santa Maria-Jerez de la Frontera. It is conceivable that Primoz Roglic should have the opportunity to reduce the time for Enric Mas, while Felix Gall, second in the general, will also have to give his best.
