The Spaniard, expected to be the main rival, never managed to trouble the leaders of the classification.For Gall, this is his second victory in a WorldTour stage race after the 2025 Critérium du Dauphiné. A success that projects him among the favourites for the end-of-season races, with the Vuelta a España on the horizon.The Vuelta a Burgos 2026 confirmed its role as the ideal testing ground ahead of the Vuelta, with a route that mixed tough climbs and a time trial, rewarding the most complete riders.
