Pogacar targets Vuelta victory to complete Grand Tour set

Tadej Pogacar starts the 2026 Vuelta a España in Monaco on 22 August as overwhelming favourite. The 27-year-old Slovenian has won the Tour de France five times and the Giro d'Italia once but never the Vuelta. Victory would be his seventh Grand Tour and make him the ninth rider to have won all three, joining names including Merckx, Hinault and Vingegaard.
