Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe goes to the Vuelta a Espana with an bold line-up that features Primoz Roglic, Aleksandr Vlasov and Daniel Martinez.
Roglic has received the common classification of the Vuelta thrice, plus a dozen levels and on Saturday he’ll return to racing after leaving injured the Tour de France.
With Daniel Martinez and Aleksandr Vlasov, the German staff has two extra GC aces up its sleeve. Like Roglic, the Vuelta is Vlasov’s first race since leaving the Tour de France early. Martinez completed second in the Giro d’Italia, the staff’s finest consequence up to now in the 2024 Grand Tour season.
Giovanni Aleotti, Florian Lipowitz, Roger Adria, Nico Denz and Patrick Gamper full the line-up.
“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”, stated Rolf Aldag, Chief of Sports Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe.
