    Good news, Team just announced Roglic IS racing
    He has won the general classification of the Vuelta three times, plus a dozen stages. On Saturday, Primož Roglič will not only be celebrating his comeback in his favorite Grand Tour, but also his return to racing. Since leaving the Tour de France, the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe leader has been preparing for the start of the Vuelta and recently spent two and a half weeks in an altitude camp.

    With Dani Martínez and Aleksandr Vlasov, Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe has two more GC aces up its sleeve. Like Roglič, the Vuelta is Vlasov's first race since leaving the Tour de France early. Martínez finished second in the Giro d'Italia, the team's best result so far in the 2024 Grand Tour season.

    In May, Giovanni Aleotti rode alongside Martínez, and a few weeks later he won the Tour of Slovenia himself. Florian Lipowitz also celebrated at the end of a stage race in the summer, winning the overall at the Sibiu Cycling Tour. After his debut at the Giro d'Italia came to an early end, the German youngster is now continuing his Grand Tour experience at the Vuelta.

    Roger Adrià, Nico Denz and Patrick Gamper complete the strong line-up. While Gamper and Denz have already raced the Giro and Tour this year, Adrià has yet to complete a Grand Tour. The only Spaniard on the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe team will be looking to build on his strong season so far at his home race.

    Rolf Aldag, Chief of Sports Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe: "We are also going into the third Grand Tour of the year with great ambitions. We have nominated eight riders with whom we won't be hiding but want to compete aggressively for the GC. However, we will have to wait and see to what extent we can do this. After all, the crash injuries and five-week break from racing for both Primož and Aleks were not the ideal preparation for a Grand Tour."

    I was hoping to see TP at the Vuelta to try to go for the triple crown. I just thought he had a great chance to win regardless who else was riding in the Vuelta. I will
    still watch it but I’m disappointed because I think he’s in top form.

      True. This is his golden opportunity to take that treble but I guess he doesn’t want to be ‘greedy’. 😢

      @@r___n___ No he simply wants to focus on the world championships and wear the rainbow jersey next year. He also wants to win the Lombardia monument for the 4th time in a row. And maybe bag a canadian classic along the way. These are big races. Cycling isn't just about Grand Tours.

      What does that even mean? Beside the fact that team leaders are most discussed in every team for obvious reasons, there has been a lot of talk about Jonas for clearly understandable reasons of his crash and recovery, and if there's "too much talk" about him, what does one even say about Pogacar...

      Actually his team abandonded him after he took the red jersey. They didn't work for him until the very end. Landa stepped in to pull for him becuase of house terrible his team supported him as GC leader.
      His team did the opposite of babysitting him and he still defended the jersey from anyone else
