Vejer de La Frontera, Spain – February 06, 2026 – The penultimate day of the first week of the XXXII Andalucía Sunshine Tour once again delivered a packed, high-level schedule, with 13 classes run across five arenas. The undisputed star of the day was Edouard Schmitz (SUI), who produced a brilliant double, claiming victory in both the main Big Tour class and the feature Medium Tour event.
