The squad features Tadej Pogačar, the cyclist who recently secured a fifth Tour de France title in July, among its key riders. The team aims to build a balanced and experienced roster, signaling an intent to build upon previous successes achieved in the Tour de France.
In addition to Pogačar, the roster for the 81st edition of the Vuelta includes several established professionals. These riders are Domen Novak, Joao Almeida, Jay Vine, Pavel Sivakov, Pablo Torres, Kevin Vermaerke, and Ivo Oliveira. The collective strength of these athletes suggests a highly competitive squad as they prepare for the grueling stages ahead.
The race itinerary for this year’s Vuelta begins with an opening individual time trial held in Monaco. Following this initial event, the peloton will traverse through the landscapes of France and Andorra before reaching the final stages in Spain. The preparation and cohesion of this team are expected to be crucial as they navigate the varied terrain of the race.
The riders’ combined experience is anticipated to be a major factor in their performance throughout the three weeks of competition.
