GRANADA, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Movistar's Enric Mas won the Vuelta a Espana on Sunday to claim his maiden Grand Tour victory, becoming the first Spanish rider to win the race since Alberto Contador in 2014, while Tobias Johannessen of Uno-X Mobility won the final stage.
Mas all but secured the win when he survived Saturday's brutal penultimate stage in the Sierra Nevada mountains, where he established a lead of over 2 minutes ahead of Sunday's ceremonial final stage in Granada.
A three-time runner-up in the Vuelta in 2018, 2021 and 2022, Mas finally stood on the top step with the red jersey, claiming his first Grand Tour title on home roads.
He finished 2 minutes and 15 seconds ahead of Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe rider Primoz Roglic while Felix Gall of Decathlon CMA CGM Team came in third.
Mas had inherited the red jersey after overwhelming race favourite Tadej Pogacar's bid to complete cycling's Grand Tour hat-trick came to a painful end when he crashed out on stage eight.
Johannessen won the final stage — where the general classification times for the fourth and final circuit were neutralised — beating Alessandro Romele (XDS Astana) and Ramses Debruyne (Alpecin-Premier Tech) to the finish line.
Mas then finished with the bunch and crossed the line with his Movistar teammates by his side and the crowd roaring him on.

格拉纳达，9 月 13 日（路透社）——移动之星车队的恩里克·马斯周日赢得了环西班牙自行车赛的冠军，这是他首次赢得大环赛冠军，他也成为自 2014 年阿尔贝托·康塔多以来首位赢得该项赛事的西班牙车手，而 Uno-X Mobility 车队的托比亚斯·约翰内森赢得了最后一个赛段的冠军。
马斯在周六残酷的倒数第二赛段（内华达山脉）中幸存下来，几乎已经锁定了胜局，并在周日格拉纳达的象征性最后一个赛段之前建立了超过 2 分钟的领先优势。
马斯曾三次获得环西自行车赛亚军（2018 年、2021 年和 2022 年），最终在家乡的赛道上穿上红衫，站上了最高领奖台，赢得了他的第一个大环赛冠军。
他领先红牛-博拉-汉斯格雅车队的普里莫兹·罗格利奇 2 分 15 秒冲过终点线，而迪卡侬 CMA CGM 车队的菲利克斯·加尔获得第三名。
在夺冠热门塔德伊·波加查冲击环法自行车赛三连冠的努力因第八赛段的摔车而痛苦地告终后，马斯继承了红衫。
约翰内森赢得了最后一个赛段的冠军——第四个也是最后一个赛段的总成绩被取消——他击败了亚历山德罗·罗梅莱（XDS Astana）和拉美西斯·德布鲁因（Alpecin-Premier Tech），率先冲过终点线。
随后，马斯跟上了大部队，在移动之星车队队友的陪伴下冲过终点线，人群为他欢呼喝彩。
