Vuelta a España 2026, Stage 4 (Andorra la Vella → Andorra la Vella, 104.9 km, 25 August 2026): Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates, SLO) wins the stage (confirmed by official UCI result or lavuelta.es)
Probability
42%
Stage 4 is a pure climbing circuit of 104.9 km with 2,953 m elevation: four categorised climbs including Collada de Beixalis (6.7 km, 8.5% avg, up to 16%) and Col d'Ordino (9.8 km, 7.1%), finishing with a 4 km descent. Pogačar won the opening TT (22 Aug, Monaco) and leads the GC. Cyclingstage.com explicitly names him 'the most obvious winner'. Counterarguments: the downhill finish suits puncheurs; UAE may let a helper win tactically. No stage market available; probability derived from overall dominance and stage profile.
