Probability
62%

Stage 12 ends at the summit of Calar Alto in Andalusia (166.6 km). The profile features Puerto de Velefique 31 km before the finish as a selective climb, then directly to the Calar Alto summit. Pogačar leads the GC by more than 4 minutes after Stage 4 and already won Stage 9 (Alto de Aitana) convincingly. The twin-climb combination Velefique–Calar Alto favours explosive climbers, which is Pogačar's speciality. No specific bookmaker odds available; probability estimated at 62% based on GC dominance and summit finish pattern.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team clinches the 2026 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 21–22, 2026)

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title. Verification by FIA or Formula1.com by November 22, 2026.

Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) wins the 2026 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix (Las Vegas Street Circuit, November 21, 2026, confirmed by FIA or Formula1.com by November 22, 2026)

Bookmaker odds imply ~38% win probability for Max Verstappen (moneyline +160). He won the São Paulo GP today and holds the Las Vegas track record from 2025, where he dominated by ~20 seconds. Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points). Verstappen is highly motivated to collect wins. Competition: George Russell +400, Kimi Antonelli +700, Lewis Hamilton +2800. The night race on the Las Vegas Strip historically favors Red Bull and Verstappen's driving style.
