Pogacar set for Vuelta a Espana Grand Tour treble bid

Pogacar adds the Vuelta to his target list

Tadej Pogacar will race this month's Vuelta a Espana, according to BBC News, setting up an attempt to win all three of cycling's Grand Tours.

The timing is what makes this more than a routine start-list note. Pogacar is described as the newly crowned five-time Tour de France champion, so this Vuelta entry extends the story directly from Tour dominance into a broader Grand Tour objective. Rather than closing the chapter after another Tour title, he is moving straight toward the one-race target that would complete the treble pursuit outlined in the report.

For a serious cyclist, the significance is in the ambition and the sequencing. A Tour win already defines a season for most riders. Choosing to line up at the Vuelta turns the focus from a single peak result to whether that level can be carried into another Grand Tour campaign in the same period.

Until the race itself provides the evidence, the key point is intent: Pogacar is not simply riding the Vuelta, he is entering it with the stated aim of winning all three Grand Tours.
