Matthew Brennan has just completed his first Grand Tour with a performance that far exceeded the expectations placed on him. At 21, the British rider won five stages of the 2026 Vuelta and established himself as the fastest man in the Spanish peloton. A first three-week Grand Tour experience that now allows him to set his sights on an even more ambitious goal: taking the first yellow jersey of the 2027 Tour de France, whose opening three stages will take place in his native United Kingdom. But before thinking about yellow, Brennan will still have to convince Visma | Lease a Bike to give him a place in a team whose ambitions will remain largely focused on the general classification.
