A slingshot and four other things that can ruin a Pimp's Vuelta.

The article discusses Tadej Pogačar's upcoming participation in the Vuelta a España, highlighting the challenges he faces. It notes that this is the only major three-stage race among the Grand Tours that Pogačar has not yet won. The article identifies several potential obstacles for Pogačar, including the demanding mountain stages in Andorra, competition from Primož Roglič, the second half of the race being particularly tough, high temperatures, and fatigue from the recent Tour de France. The article mentions that the route has been altered due to floods and landslides, making the second half of the race even more challenging. It also highlights the importance of recovery, hydration, and proper energy management, especially considering Pogačar's need to quickly regain his physical and mental state after the Tour. The article concludes by stating that while Pogačar is a strong favorite, victory is still uncertain.

On the day of the race, Slovenian cycling stars returned to the starting line, marking the beginning of a golden era for Slovenian cycling, which had already secured eleven victories in three-week races. However, the first moments they will never forget took place during the Vuelta a España in 2019, where two Slovenian heroes emerged: the expected winner Primoz Roglic and the surprising discovery of the race, third-placed Tadej Pogačar. Roglic, who had been anticipated as the favorite, celebrated his first victory on the Vuelta, expressing his satisfaction with the result. “I am very happy that I managed to win. From now on, nothing will be much different for me, except that my name will also be written alongside the Vuelta victory,” he said after securing one of his four wins on the race. He added that he hoped to continue being successful in the future. Meanwhile, Pogačar made headlines with his narrow stage victory, opening the hunt for the sole remaining Grand Tour title. Shortly after winning the red jersey, he found himself in an unexpected conversation with Spanish online influencer Erol Jons, who had previously criticized him for allegedly inappropriate behavior following the opening stage of the race in Spain. The influencer, known for her over three million followers on Instagram, attempted to provoke a reaction from the Slovenian champion. She approached Pogačar in the backstage area of the Vuelta, where she was clearly granted access to the inner circle. On video footage, she repeatedly addressed him as “Pogachita” and asked, “Why do you always start hyperventilating when you see me?” Initially confused, Pogačar eventually understood the implication of her question and responded in his characteristic manner: “I breathe 24/7.” The clip quickly spread across social media, drawing mixed reactions. Many were critical, with Spanish journalist Laura Meseguer condemning the organizers for hiring someone completely unqualified for such a role. “Many women have spent years fighting to expand their space in a male-dominated sport, so that they are treated with respect and have the same opportunities as everyone else,” Meseguer wrote on Instagram. “It is a serious mistake to hire someone with absolutely no knowledge of the sport. Her content is based on a pile of sexist comments, which women have been trying to escape for decades.” Meseguer emphasized that this incident represented a lack of respect towards all individuals working on the Vuelta, particularly female professionals. “No one should have to suffer being treated as an object, neither men nor women,” she stated. The controversy sparked widespread debate, highlighting ongoing issues of gender dynamics and professional conduct within sports. As the race continued, the focus remained on both athletes' performances and the broader implications of public interactions in high-profile sporting events.

Primoz Roglic will race the Vuelta and chase stage wins.

Primož Roglič, Slovenian cyclist, has been officially announced by his team Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe to participate in the Vuelta a España. Roglič, who shares a record with Robert Heras for the most stage wins in Spain (4), is recovering from an accident that occurred during training at the end of July, when he was hit by a car. This forced him to withdraw from races in San Sebastian and Burgos. However, his condition is improving, and the team decided to include him in the lineup. Roglič will not aim for the overall victory but will focus on individual stages, hoping to find his best form, possibly in the second half of the race. Also participating in the Vuelta will be Tadej Pogačar, the first world champion cyclist, returning to the Spanish race after a year.

Primoz Roglic will perform at the Vuelta.

Primož Roglič, štirikratni zmagovalec Vuelte, naj bi nastopil na Dirki po Španiji, kljub nesreči na treningu, kjer je bil zbil avtomobil. Po povzetkih italijanskega medija La Gazzetta dello Sport se mu počuti bolje in naj bi bil pripravljen na nastop, kljub temu pa ekipa Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe še ni potrdila njegovega nastopa. Njegova ekipa je ocenila možnosti za nastop na približno 50 odstotkov, zaradi počasnega okrevanja po nesreči. Roglič je postavil Vuelto kot osnovni cilj sezone in naj bi dirko jemal iz dneva v dan, kar pomeni, da bo preverjal svojo vzdržnost po skoraj dveh mesecih brez tekmovanj. Tadej Pogačar ostaja prvi favorit Vuelte.

Big twist on Roglic, only official confirmation is missing

Primož Roglič bo nastopal na dirki po Španiji, kljub nedavni poškodbam na treningu, kjer ga je zbil avtomobil. Njegove možnosti za nastop so bile na začetku le 50 %, vendar se je njegово stanje izboljšalo do take mere, da je mogel udeležiti v dirki v Monaku. Dirka po Španiji je bila ključni cilj njegove sezone, vendar je moral odpovedati nastop na klasiki San Sebastian in dirki po Burgosu zaradi poškodb. Roglič deli rekord štirih skupnih zmag s španskim kolesarjem Robertom Herasom. Njegovi ambiciji so se razlikovale od predhodnega, saj se bo osredotočil na dirkanje iz dneva v dan, ker še ne ve, kako bo telo reagiralo ob vrnitvi v tekmovalni ritem. Tadej Pogačar, najboljši kolesar na svetu, bo na Vuelti prvič po letu 2019.

Lefevre on Roglic: "I fear he will be like Degenkolb or Gilbert

Former QuickStep team manager Patrick Lefevre expressed skepticism about Primoz Roglic's decision to sign with Lotto-Intermarche, comparing him to past high-profile riders like John Degenkolb and Philippe Gilbert who had limited success with the team.

A shock just before the present, the Lord of the Rings will not be chasing the fifth victory of the Vuelta!

The article discusses the potential participation of Slovenian cyclist Primož Roglič at this year’s Vuelta, highlighting significant changes to his goals due to recent events. Initially, Roglič aimed to win his fifth Vuelta title, which would have tied him with record-holder Roberto Heras. However, his plans were disrupted by a car accident during training in July, forcing him to withdraw from key races like the Clásico San Sebastián and the Vuelta a Burgos. These races were crucial for his preparation for the Vuelta. Additionally, the emergence of Tadej Pogačar as a strong contender has shifted the dynamics. While Roglič’s participation remains uncertain, there is speculation that he might focus more on assessing his physical condition rather than pursuing another victory. His last race was Slovenia’s national championship in June, where he finished fourth.

New information about Roglic's appearance on Vuelta

Primož Roglič's participation in this year's Vuelta is still uncertain due to injuries sustained in a car accident during training at the end of July. The accident forced him to withdraw from two preparatory races in San Sebastian and Burgos, which were crucial for his readiness for the Vuelta. His team, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, has not yet made a final decision on whether he will compete, with the decision expected shortly before the race begins. Roglič is currently recovering but has not fully recovered from the incident. He lives in Monaco, where the Vuelta starts, giving him a logistical advantage by avoiding travel before the race.
