Pogacar Confirms La Vuelta Participation

Tadej Pogacar has confirmed his participation in La Vuelta a España, the final Grand Tour missing from his palmarès. The UAE team officially announced the Slovenian cyclist will start the race in Monaco on August 22.

Tadej Pogacar will target La Vuelta a España, the one major cycling stage race he has yet to win. The UAE team confirmed Monday what had been anticipated since the Tour de France, where Pogacar finished fifth overall.

The Slovenian cyclist, who previously finished third in La Vuelta in 2019, now seeks to complete his collection of Grand Tour victories. With five Tour de France titles and a 2024 Giro d'Italia win, Pogacar aims to join cycling legends Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain, who have all won all three Grand Tours. amunra-online.pl
