Tadej Pogačar will win the 2026 Vuelta a España.
“And it's the one Grand Tour that Tade hasn't won. And that'll change at the end of the week after next.”

Tadej Pogačar did not win the 2026 Vuelta a España; he abandoned the race on stage 8 after a crash, and Enric Mas was later the GC leader.
The prediction named Pogačar as the race winner, but the race outcome in the notes shows he withdrew on stage 8 and therefore could not win. The claim is settled against the speaker because the actual result diverged from the predicted winner, not just the margin or method.
