The Trek-Segafredo rider edged out Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) after chasing a long sprint from Pascal Ackermann (UAE Team Emirates), who came third. The points classification leader made the most of the uphill finish in Montilla as he crossed the line with his arms in the air, celebrating his first stage win on the Vuelta. "We knew that the final was super good so the boys did good today and everyone was focussed the whole day," Pedersen, the 2019 world champion, said. "I'm happy that I could finally get the win and give the boys back for all the work they did so far. It's really nice for all of us." Race leader Remco Evenepoel of QuickStep-AlphaVinyl, who suffered a crash on Thursday, came through the stage safely and retained his red jersey.
