Stefan Kung (Groupama-FDJ) took his first Grand Tour stage victory in the closing ITT of La Vuelta, with a time of 26'28" to cover 24.6km in Madrid. No one was close to the Swiss, who gave his team their first Grand Tour stage win since 2022. Primoz Roglic sealed a historic fourth overall win after his successes in 2019, 2020 and 2021. He ties Robert Heras for four Vuelta a Esapana wins. Runner-up Ben O'Connor makes history with the best Australian result in the Spanish Gran Tour while Enric Mas steps on the podium for the fourth time in his career.

"It doesn't get much better than winning your home race. My name will always have this race underneath it. I'm really proud to have been part of this team this week - the riders and staff have been amazing. It has been a great week."
-Stevie Williams. This was his third GC victory in 13 months, Arctic Race of Norway last August and the Tour Down Under in January. The 28-year-old's career-best year now includes six wins in 2024, one more than the rest of his career combined.
