Brennan powered through Seville's broad avenues to secure his fifth stage victory at this year's Vuelta a Espana, continuing an exceptional period of form for the cyclist and his Visma-Lease a Bike team. The Australian's win in the southern Spanish city underscored the Dutch outfit's remarkable consistency throughout the race, which has yielded seven stage victories to date. Brennan's aggressive riding in the final kilometres proved decisive against his rivals in the sprint finish. The result caps a particularly successful run for Visma-Lease a Bike, which has established itself as a commanding force in the 2024 edition of Spain's prestigious three-week cycling event. Brennan's haul of five stage wins places him among the race's most successful individual performers in the saddle.
