"A few days ago, I was talking with the other Norwegian rider here, Johannes [Staune-Mittet] and how I was doing overall, and he said - You're a loser, because you're so close on the actual GC,' Tren recounted. 'So I said to him, When I take the red jersey after the Andorra stage, I don't think you'll call me a loser anymore!' I think he owes me a few beers in Madrid now."
"Bahrain Victorious came to the Vuelta with the idea of battling for a good GC result and stage wins. With Antonio Tibieri's strong performance on the summit finish at Pal, the Italian racer remains a key part of the overall picture in Spain. However, Tren's second place on the stage behind lone winner Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) gave the Norwegian his first-ever Grand Tour lead, and Bahrain Victorious at least one day on top of the GC classification."
Torstein Tren captured the Vuelta a España leader's red jersey after joining the early break on stage 6. Jay Vine won the stage, with Tren finishing second and taking the overall lead. Bahrain Victorious arrived aiming for a strong GC result and stage victories, and Antonio Tiberi's summit finish at Pal keeps him central to the team's overall ambitions. Tren celebrated the milestone but said he does not know how long he can hold the jersey, and the team will continue prioritizing Tiberi. Tren's career includes a recovery from testicular cancer and notable wins at the Tour of the Alps and 2024 Tour de Suisse.
