American Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) sprang something of surprise to take the first leader’s red jersey of the 2024 Vuelta a España.
McNulty won the first stage of the race, a 12km individual time trial, and will wear the maillot rojo on stage 2. Lidl-Trek’s Mathias Vacek sits in second place, while Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) is in third.
By winning the first stage, McNulty is also in the lead of the points classification after day one.
22-year-old Vacek has taken the lead in the young riders’ classification, but without any climbs on the opening day, the mountain classification will have to wait for stage two.
UAE Team Emirates are in the lead of the team classification, ahead of Lidl-Trek and Team Visma-Lease a Bike
