Bastien Tronchon Wins Stage 10 of Vuelta a Espana

Bastien Tronchon of France achieved an unexpected victory in stage 10 of the Vuelta a Espana, winning after a thrilling sprint finish.

The Groupama-FDJ United cyclist outpaced Magnus Cort Nielsen and Thibau Nys in a close photo finish, while Wout van Aert narrowly missed the podium. With one kilometer remaining in the 184.7km stage from Alcaraz to Elche de la Sierra, Yevgeni Fedorov and Xabier Azparren attempted to break away from the peloton but were caught just before the finish line.

Tronchon expressed disbelief at his win, noting the difficulty of the previous two days. Enric Mas from Movistar continues to lead the general classification, maintaining a lead of over a minute ahead of Primoz Roglic. The next stage will take place on Wednesday, covering 153.8km from Cartagena to Lorca, which is expected to favor sprinters.
