Stage 15 of the Vuelta a España brought another sprint showdown, with Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) prevailing over green jersey Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease A Bike) on the uphill finish in Villablino. Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech) rounded out the podium at the front of the reduced peloton at the finish.

Despite the stage featuring a late first-category climb, the day brought a mass bunch sprint finish, with the three sprint stage winners so far all featuring at the head of the race. Alpecin-Deceuninck had command of the head of the peloton in the closing kilometres, and so their confidence won out as the Belgian squad delivered the Australian to his second stage win of the race.
