Yes- the list is available on the election page, https://database.talossa.com/elections/august-2026-elections, and the following people claimed a seat:

- Barclamïu da Miéletz
- Owen Bottu
- Ryan Hammond
- Ian da Bitour
- Þerxh Sant-Enogat
- X. Pôl Brigă

The Electoral Commission has been contacted to proceed with certification of the election results. I will update the citizenry on certification status as necessary.

Because of the large winning margins, I advise @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu , @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be and @Eðo Grischun to start making arrangements about paying the $5 Senate winner's fee to the Treasury, so they can be seated immediately after the election is certified.

@Xheralt Del'Encradeir , you should have received your ballot and all reminders at your x****@y****.com email address. If you prefer another address you check more often to be used, contact me to update your contact settings.

This is the best thing I've read on Witt in quite some time. I'm so glad to hear Litz is doing better. Hopefully she can get back on Witt soon (but yeah, I would say we should try to get Chris on as well. He sounds like a delightful person.)

Stage 10  »  Alcaraz  ›  Elche de la Sierra

Pretty unpredictable sprint finish after many attacks in the final stages. Ultimately only Van Aert (CJO/CHX, 4th) and Albanese (CJO/DED, 11th) really featured in the sprint, with Bilbao, Camprubí, Carapaz and Zana getting a few points as well.

Low scoring for everyone but Naziun Cjovani and Cyclohexane, who both lift themselves closer to third place.

Today a pretty straightforward sprint stage. Unfortunately Mads Pedersen, who has been ill for the past few days, has withdrawn from TCAT and will not start. He leaves REX, MMM and CFA - all quite delayed - one more man down, with Cjovani the only team still sporting a full roster (though among their own, Almeida has shown very little so far for how expensive he was).

Apologies Cresti, I sent out the last ditch voting reminder before entering your vote. Disregard that mailer if you got it, I am entering it now.

Well, for me, on one hand I can now only pretty much hope I can preserve my lead in the season standings. Unless one of the GC riders I don't own drops off massively, pretty sure five teams are better placed than me in the long run; it's hard to see how BDC loses this without Mas or Onley crashing out.

On the other hand, now that there is no unbeatable star rider, stage 9 was a nailbiter. Not gonna lie, it's gonna be pretty exciting to see what happens in the rest of the Vuelta.

Wherever this message finds you, I hope you are well, my friend. There
are just a couple days left to vote and I ask for your support of the
Green Party. In our messages to you we have spoken of our desire for
more cooperation, respect, and a positive vision for the future of the
Kingdom. We do not seek to make enemies or monsters of anyone because
we know much can be done when Talossa is united. As someone who is
still somewhat new around here I have tried to observe more than I
speak so I can say, based on evidence, if you are wondering just what
is the difference between the Green Party and other parties, watch
their actions and take note of their words. If someone is not
respectful or supportive of a kinder Talossa then please have the
courage to speak up. I call this being an upstander. I do this at home
and at work and pledge to do it in Talossa. Please be an upstander,
with me, for a Talossa that respects all and allows for peace and
personal and community growth.

We plan to be a party of upstanders. If you want to be a part of that
effort please vote on Wittenberg at

Yes, we plan to have real physical embassies, beautiful paper maps, and a new approach to our national website. But we also want to fight to preserve what's already been built.

Stage 8  »  Puçol  ›  Xeraco

Fuller update later but the main news, Pogacar's retirement, is already out anyway.

REX wins the stage thanks to Pedersen finally getting a result on the board (2nd behind non-TCAT Coquard at his first grand tour stage victory at 34). Brennan only managed 10th due to poor positioning; De Jong got 15th. The final of many crashes took out Groves and De Schuyteneer.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on August 29, 2026, 10:23:39 AMWell, major shocker!

Tadej Pogacar just crashed out of TCAT Spain with 30km remaining in what was supposed to be a mostly uneventful and boring sprint stage. Other riders also went down but got up quickly, except for MAN's Tulett, who seemed to take quite a hit (unsure how he is doing atm)

According to PCS, this is the first stage race Pogacar abandons in his whole pro career, out of 51 he started, and just the second time he wears a leader's jersey but doesn't end up winning a stage race.

This definitely hands a huge chance to Cjovani to win their second TCAT edition, with REX also sure to have an easier time lifting off the bottom of the standings now that everyone else is without their star rider.

Does this mean he is done for the rest of the race or just this stage?

Rest of the race, with the world championships coming up in three weeks in major doubt.

Well, major shocker!

Stage 6  »  Alcossebre  ›  Castelló

Another win for Pogacar (all but CJO/REX), the third in five completed stages, but for the first time in many, many mountain stages he took part in, he didn't look unbeatable.

The early break included among others Konrad (MAN/MMM), van Aert (CHX/CJO), Albanese (CJO/DED) and Bilbao (DED/REX), but by the time of the major climb of the day they were all caught by the GC favourites. Of course Pogacar was the one to attack first, but surprisingly Enric Mas (BDC/MAN/REX/VFL) was able to regather him and even cross the summit first. The surprises weren't over, as Pogacar made a mistake in the tricky, narrow descent, causing him to go wide off course, thankfully with no consequences except having to slip back behind Mas.

Pogacar and Mas then rode the ~20 km to the finish together, with the Slovenian easily outsprinting the Spaniard for the stagewin. 46" behind, Carapaz (GHS/REX) took fourth, second in a 5-man chasing group that also included Gall (CJO, 6th) and Roglic (CJO/PTM/VFL, 7th). A further 50" behind, Rodríguez (DED/REX/VFL) took 8th ahead of a disappointed Skjelmose (CFA/GHS, 10th), Kuss (CJO/PTM/REX, 11th) and Onley (BDC/CHX/DED/PTM 12th).

So a good day for Mas (and Carapaz, Gall, Rodríguez and Roglic comparatively), and a bad day for Skjelmose, Kuss and Onley, but also for other minor GC top 10 contenders like Widar, Vine, Brenner and Johannessen, who didn't feature at all today. Also not featuring is Almeida, who sadly looks like he is far from his best shape and probably targeting a return to full form for next year.

The stagewin goes to Velociposse, one of three teams with Pogacar and Mas but the only one who managed to place other riders in the daily top 10. The other two, BDC and the Manilows, have to settle for second and third respectively, with three more teams within 20 points of the latter. Minor shuffling in the overall standings, but today's results make it look like anyone in the top 6 has a shot at winning this edition, which will hopefully make this an interesting leg to follow.

A final note is unfortunately the withdrawal of time trial specialist Joshua Tarling (BDC/CHX/GHS), who took the start of the Vuelta despite losing his younger brother in a car collision only the previous week. He still managed to get third in the inaugural time trial, and would have been expected to win the longer second ITT planned for stage 18, but obviously given the circumstances he mustn't have been in a good enough mental state to continue. He joins Cian Uijtdebroeks (DED) among the two early TCAT abandons.

More GC action sure to come today with 5 categorised climbs, 3 of which, of increasing difficulty, are in the latter 50km of the 150km parcours. Very interesting to see whether yesterday's patterns hold - including whether Pogacar is indeed a bit out of steam as it might have seemed at times - or if more surprises are in store.

An additional ballot has been issued and emailed to @Aryan Vaidya , who became a citizen midway through the election.

Turnout is 44% (61/138) with 5 days to go. I believe 35ish eligible voters haven't cast a ballot yet, but took part in at least 3 of the 4 general elections, referenda and census held in the last 2 years. Should they all vote, turnout would be a little shy of the 100 mark. If we could get to triple digits again, even if not to 105 like last time, I'd be happy I think.

Stage 4  »  Andorra la Vella  ›  Andorra la Vella

Copypasted from PCS:

In the shortest stage of Vuelta 2026, multiple attacks unfolded early on the Port d'Envalira climb. Felix Gall and Tadej Pogačar broke clear with 50 km remaining, with Pogačar launching a solo attack to claim the stage win. He extended his overall lead, strengthening his hold on the Red leader jersey. Jarno Widar and Gall finished second and third respectively.

BDC get the stagewin and end their longest stagewin drought ever, at 26 winless stages - just longer than their previous winless streak of 25 between stage 20 of TCAT Italy 2024 and stage 5 of TCAT Spain 2024; an edition which they won, and they're certainly looking like the strongest contender to win this one as well, at the moment.

Today, what should be a sprint finish, as TCAT Spain finally actually enters Spain. A bunch of hills in the final quarter might however drop some of the heaviest sprinters, and the final stretch is slightly uphill. Maybe one for the puncheurs (like stage 2) rather than the pure sprinters.
