Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar has confirmed his participation in this year's Vuelta a España, which will start on August 22 in Monaco. The reigning world champion and five-time Tour de France winner will thus attempt to fill in one of the few missing entries in his successful career. sport.cz - fotbal ↗
Pogačar is returning to the Spanish Grand Tour after seven years. The Vuelta is one of three major stage events he has never won. Following his record fifth triumph at the Tour de France, his goal will be to secure another significant victory and expand his record among the biggest names in road cycling. Tagesspiegel ↗
If Pogačar were to succeed in Spain, he would become the ninth rider to win all three Grand Tour events. In addition to the Tour de France, he would add the overall win at the Vuelta, thereby closing out another significant milestone in his career. The race in Spain will therefore be among the most closely watched events of the second half of the cycling season. idnes.cz ↗
His start will also increase attention on the opening of the Vuelta in Monaco. After a demanding Tour de France, it will be important to see what form he is in as he enters another three-week race. The result could significantly influence the assessment of his season as well as his standing in historical comparisons of the Grand Tours. Le Monde ↗
