Roglic seemed on his way to the overall victory in the Tour de France last month, but lost the yellow leader’s jersey to his fellow countryman Tadej Pogacar on the penultimate day of the time trial. The 30-year-old rider did win Liège-Bastogne-Liège in early October.
It was previously known that Tom Dumoulin, number seven in the Tour, will also start in the Tour of Spain. He said he would not be specifically preparing for the last World Cup in Imola, but has also been designated as the leader by the team. Robert Gesink, Lennard Hofstede, Sepp Kuss, George Bennett, Jonas Vingegaard and Paul Martens complete the squad for the Vuelta.
Sports director Grischa Niermann indicates that the division of roles between the two leaders will gradually become clear during the Tour of Spain. “During the Vuelta it becomes clear whose card we draw. Our team is at the start with two favorites for final victory, one of which is last year’s winner. That ensures that other teams will watch us. We are aware of that. ”
It is probably already clear after the first week who has the best legs. “The first three stages are three mountain stages. At that moment we have to be there immediately. The sixth stage will soon follow. In my opinion, that is the queen stage, given the finish on the Col du Tourmalet. Of course there will be tough stages, but in my opinion the focus of the Vuelta is in the first week ”, says Niermann.
