Brennan Hat-Trick in Vuelta a España

British cyclist Matthew Brennan claimed his third stage win in the Vuelta a España, becoming the first rider to achieve three stage victories in their first Grand Tour since Tadej Pogacar seven years ago.

Matthew Brennan triumphed again in the Vuelta a España on Wednesday, securing his third victory on the 11th stage. The 21-year-old British rider completed the mostly flat 153.8km route from Cartagena to Lorca in impressive fashion.

"We took the initiative today again," Brennan said. "The boys pulled as hard as they could even after a tough day in the legs yesterday. We still went full gas. Coming into the final, we really held our own place and knew that we were all strong enough to kind of get to where we want to be." tbzikra.org
