Summary
Extra Time: La Vuelta Show | Stage 7 | Wout van Aert Steals the Green Jersey by 2 Points, Felix Gall Emerges as a Real Threat Jonathan, Nicole, and David break down a genuinely thrilling stage at the 2026 Vuelta a España — Wout van Aert wins the tactical battle for the points jersey by the slimmest of margins, Felix Gall establishes himself as the strongest climber behind Pogačar, and a horrific crash serves as a sobering reminder of the sport's dangers. 🟢 Wout van Aert's Green Jersey Heist Van Aert grabs the intermediate sprint for 20 points, then survives a brutal one-two tactical play from Uno-X — who sacrificed one rider up the road to force Van Aert to do all the chasing before pouncing late — and still finishes third for enough bonus points to steal the green jersey from Pogačar by just two points.

There may not be a clean answer. ⛰️ Felix Gall's Statement Climb In the GC group, Gall pulls hard, Pogačar takes over, and Gall simply can't hold the pace — dropping him from the front.

Either way, Gall gains time on his rivals and the hosts now rank him alongside Mas, Roglič, and Pogačar as a genuine podium threat. 🏆 Decathlon Takes the Team Classification With two riders now in the top 10, Decathlon overtake…
