Automatically summarised by AI from Cycling News

Enric Mas is just hours away from securing overall victory at the Vuelta a España this Sunday in Granada. The win will see him follow in the footsteps of Alberto Contador to become the next Spanish champion of his home Grand Tour.

Alberto Contador, who was the last Spanish rider to win the Vuelta a España, paid tribute to his successor. Contador emphasized that Mas's upcoming victory is not a gift, but rather the direct result of his hard work.

Contador claimed Spain's previous Vuelta title in 2014. That triumph came just a few months after he suffered a broken tibia at the Tour de France, a race he had looked set to win for a third time.
