The dust from the Tour de France has barely settled before the build-up to the Vuelta a España has begun. And this year’s Tour de Pologne will, as ever, give some of the top contenders for Spain a chance to run through their stage racing scales prior to heading to Barcelona on August 26th, as well as being a coveted prize to win itself.
Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) and João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) were second and third overall, respectively, in the Giro d’Italia this May. They are set to be back on the Grand Tour start grid in Spain in a month’s time and are arguably the two most-established names seeking to test their form in the week-long race.
