Vuelta España Femenina 2026 - Stage 4

Monforte de Lemos > Antas de Ulla, 115.6km

03.05-09.05

Lotte Kopecky claimed her first win of La Vuelta Femenina on stage 4, powering up the drag to the line in Antas de Ulla ahead of teammate Anna van der Breggen. The victory also moved Kopecky into the red leader’s jersey, six seconds clear of Franziska Koch. Earlier, a four-rider break animated the stage, but SD Worx-Protime controlled the finale and brought the move back before Kopecky launched her winning sprint.
