The Vuelta a España remains one of the few races that Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) hasn't won yet, but he's suggested how a change to the calendar could speed up the process of him returning to the Spanish Grand Tour, which he podiumed on debut six years ago.
Taking place in September since it moved 30 years ago, the Vuelta arrives after the Tour de France and usually before the World Championships, making it a difficult goal for Pogačar to target as he searches for a fifth Tour and third rainbow jersey in succession in 2026.
