Slovenia's Primoz Roglic achieved a remarkable feat by clinching his fourth Vuelta a Espana title on Sunday, retaining his overall lead in the final stage, a 24.6 km individual time-trial in Madrid. The stage was won by Stefan Kung.

Roglic, riding for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe, executed a devastating solo attack on stage 19 last Friday, allowing him to reclaim the red jersey from Ben O'Connor. This pivotal move placed him in a commanding position for the closing stages of the race.

With this victory, Roglic equaled the record of four Vuelta wins set by Spaniard Roberto Heras, further solidifying his place in cycling history.
