The Tour de France champion, Tadej Pogacar, has confirmed that he will race in the Vuelta a España, which starts in Monaco on 22 August. The five-time Tour winner will be seeking to match the rare achievement of long-term rival, Jonas Vingegaard, who completed a grand slam of all three Grand Tours, by winning the Giro d’Italia in May.
“I’m excited to say I’m going back to La Vuelta,” Pogacar said. “It was my first-ever Grand Tour back in 2019 and an amazing experience. Spain is a country I love to visit and race in and I think the time is right to go back.
