- Joao Almeida secured victory on stage 13 of the 2025 Vuelta a España by finishing just ahead of race leader Jonas Vingegaard at the summit of L'Angliru in Asturias, Spain, on Friday.
- The victory followed a demanding 202.7 km stage featuring nearly 4,000 meters of climbing and was briefly interrupted by pro-Palestinian protests near the final climb.
- Almeida set the pace from the bottom of the climb, narrowly beating Vingegaard in a final sprint and shaving his rival's overall lead to 46 seconds after 13 stages.
- Almeida described the win as special, credited his teammates, and said, "I still don't believe it," while Vingegaard acknowledged Almeida deserved to win.
- Saturday's stage will be a shorter 135.9 km mountain trek from Avilés to the first-category summit at La Farrapona, promising another challenging test for the general classification contenders.
