EUROTRASH: It’s Pogi vs. the World at the Vuelta

Woohoo who’s fired up for the Vuelta?

(No, “fired up” isn’t some ill-intended pun related to the likely temperatures.)

The third Grand Tour of the season always get askance views from all but the die-hardest of the die hards; everyone’s tired — the riders for sure, but we fans as well. And this year Tadej Pogačar promises to spoil anything like a close contest.

But every race promises some bit of beauty — including this one. We’re looking forward to surprise stage winners and hard-fought races for Green and White. And if the Vuelta yields none of that, we have other races to look to, from Britain to the Netherlands (which I guess isn’t that far).

Stay close, cycling fans: The next three weeks may well indeed yield surprises. Keep an eye on Pez to find out!

Vuelta a España 2026 Preview: Pogi vs. the World

The Tour is complete, the Giro is a distant memory, and now cycling’s third and feistiest Grand Tour rolls out of a Formula 1 paddock and into three weeks of Iberian suffering. The 81st Vuelta a España runs August 22 to September 13, and if you were hoping the final Grand Tour of the year might take it easy on everybody…bad news. This is arguably the hardest route la Vuelta has ever served up, and the headline act arrives as the overwhelming favorite to complete something no rider has managed since Chris Froome: the full sweep of the modern Grand Tour resume with a maiden win in Spain.

The Fundamentals

  • Dates: August 22 – September 13, 2026 (21 stages, one rest-free run through four countries)
  • Distance: roughly 3,275 km
  • Climbing: north of 58,000 meters of vertical gain. That’s a genuinely brutal number for a three-week race.
  • Countries: Monaco, France, Andorra, Spain
  • Start: Monaco (The Principality becomes the first nation to host the Grand Départ of all three Grand Tours.)
  • Finish: Granada, with a summit finish on the second-to-last day, because apparently a gentle stroll into the history books wasn’t on the menu
  • Stage breakdown: 9 stages with meaningful climbing (six of them summit or near-summit finishes), 2 individual time trials, and a sprinkling of transitional/breakaway stages that are far hillier than the word “flat” usually implies at this Vuelta
  • Only two stages crack 200 km. This is not a race that beats you up with distance; it beats you up with gradient, and it does it early and often.

Route Preview: Where the Race Gets Won (and Mostly Lost)

Forget any notion of a gentle acclimatization period. The Vuelta throws its first real gut-check on Stage 4, a brutally compact 106 km day finishing in Andorra la Vella that stacks the Port d’Envallira, the vicious Collada de Beixalis (6.5 km at 8.6%, with ramps well beyond that), and the Coll d’Ordino before a technical descent into town. It’s short enough that nobody can hide, and altitude will be doing its own quiet damage throughout.

The race’s first true GC earthquake, though, likely comes on Stage 9 to the Alto de Aitana. Five thousand meters of climbing in 188 km, topped off by a nearly 22-km final ascent that kicks hardest in its last six kilometers. This is the kind of day where a rider having a bad afternoon doesn’t lose 20 seconds; he loses minutes.

Week two brings Stage 12 to Calar Alto, a tactical, two-headed climbing puzzle (Velefique into Calar Alto) that finishes at altitude and rewards riders who can turn a screw on punchy, uneven gradients rather than just grinding a steady rhythm. Stage 14’s summit finish at Sierra de la Pandera (11.8 km at 7.5% with a full kilometer near 13%) arrives with race fatigue setting in and has a history of blowing GC groups apart on its own merits.

Then the race saves its real violence for the final week. Stage 18 is a 32 km flat time trial that could meaningfully reshuffle the top of the standings just two days before the mountains resume. Stage 19 to Peñas Blancas is a sea-level-to-1,274m animal, 18.8 km at a relentless 6.5%, perfectly loaded to detonate tired legs.

But the stage everyone will circle is Stage 20, the queen stage around Granada: nearly 4,850 meters of climbing crammed into the final 110 km, featuring the brutal Alto de El Purche (climbed twice), the Puerto del Duque, and finishing atop the Collado del Alguacil: 8.4 km at 10%, arguably the steepest mountain in the entire race. This is the second-to-last day, deliberately positioned as the Vuelta’s last word on the GC battle, and it has queen-stage written all over it. Even the “sprinters’” final stage into Granada isn’t a parade: it closes with four ascents of a short, steep circuit climb up to the Alhambra, meaning nobody gets to simply cruise to the finish.

Underlining the course and its topography may well be the conditions — which is to say, the temperatures. I’ve just listened to a podcast about this year’s El Niño, which appears to be warming the earth progressively through the year; the Tour’s brutal early temps notwithstanding, it’s been August that’s really cooked. Riding in the south of France could well prove decisively challenging. Remember “Pogačar doesn’t ride well in the heat?”

Week 1 doesn’t look so bad!

Rider Preview: Pogi vs….Everyone

That route gives way to two questions about Pogačar’s likely performance:

  1. How early will he take the leader’s red jersey? and
  2. Can he win all three principal jerseys?

There’s a legitimate case for the answers to be “Stage 1” and “Yes.” “Overwhelming favorite” barely begins to describe his status as he comes to Spain chasing the only box left unchecked on his Grand Tour résumé, racing against a field that looks even thinner than in other recent Grand Tours. Meaning that in a sport that has become largely uncompetitive in recent years, even the couple of guys who might muster something like a challenge aren’t showing up: No Jonas, no Remco. In this race, Tadej will be like Thanos with all the Infinity Stones, just snapping his fingers and turning his rivals into dust.

Such as it is, his “competition” starts with, um…his teammate? João Almeida was once considered the best-of-the-rest, but injuries and illness have rendered his 2026 campaign largely fruitless. Meanwhile, four-time winner Primož Roglič had aligned his training solely around the Vuelta, but a recent crash seems to have softened his aspirations; in a recent interview, Pogačar’s Slovenian compatriot indicated he’s unlikely to pursue a real GC result, and will likely end his career with a record-tying four Vuelta wins. Watch also for Enric Mas (Movistar), forever the nearly-man of Spanish GC racing and always motivated on home roads; Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), fresh off a strong Tour de France top-ten; Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost); and dark horses like Oscar Onley (Ineos), who’s been racing well since recovering from his Tour crash, and Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious).

But make no mistake about the framing here: this is Pogačar’s race to lose. With the two riders most capable of matching him on a bad day both absent, “Pogi vs. the World” reads less like an even fight and more like the field trying to find any way to make him have a bad day at all. I’ve read analysis suggesting that his relatively weak team (relative to, say, his Tour squad) may make him vulnerable; I say the guy could line up with me and six guys from our local Tuesday night Hammerfest and still win easily.

The Sprinters’ Jersey: A Battle for the Green (and Bragging Rights)

So, if the GC contest will almost certainly be a blowout determined within the first week of racing, why even watch this race? I have three reasons:

  1. Wout
  2. van
  3. Aert

That’s not to say that van Aert will certainly be sporting the Green Jersey in Granada. But he always brings a sense of élan to any race, and a big Vuelta would round out an insane 2026, one that started with a fractured ankle, traveled through a fast-closing third place at Milan-Sanremo just a few months later — as well as a victory over Pogaćar in the velodrom in Roubaix — and that nearly ended (along with just about everything else for van Aert) with a septic elbow that kept him out of the Tour. Watch for WVA to race with zeal and, with no real GC leader to protect, more self-concern than we typically see.

Still, this undulating-at-best parcours will favor other sprinters as well. Notably, Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) returns as the defending points classification winner, and is coming off a Tour de France where he claimed the green jersey. He’s another complete package, capable of winning a pure sprint, a reduced bunch gallop off a hilly finale, or a punchy uphill drag. That range is exactly what this Vuelta route rewards.

Others to watch: van Aert’s teammate Matthew Brennan, still just finding his feet in his maiden Grand Tour, could be a genuine sprint threat on the punchy days (and could be the reason that my excitement about Wout is ill-founded). Alberto Dainese (Soudal-Quick-Step) gets license to hunt bunch sprints, Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) is a proven quantity on hilly sprint finishes, and Marijn van den Berg (EF Education-EasyPost) will fancy his chances whenever the road flattens out. Watch too for Alpecin-Premier Tech’s stable of young riders getting opportunities in the absence of Jasper Philipsen.

If Pedersen can survive the mountains inside the time cut and keep collecting intermediate points on the transitional stages, the green jersey should be his to lose. But on a route this lumpy, a versatile all-rounder like Van Aert is always one well-timed late attack away from crashing the party.

We’re thus rolling into this third Grand Tour of the year feeling a bit underwhelmed by its prospects, and more than a bit distracted by the Finlay Tarling tragedy. Perhaps we’ll be surprised, though; perhaps some GC contender will find lightning in a proverbial bottle and give Pogi a run for his ample money; perhaps we’ll see a genuinely tense Green Jersey battle; or perhaps we’ll at least see an audacious breakaway or two stay away.

Let’s hope.

Milan Wins Photo Finish as Sprinters’ Super Bowl Kicks Off Renewi Tour

If you wanted proof the fast men take the Renewi Tour seriously, Wednesday’s opening stage in Diest delivered it. The opening day promised a reduced or thinned bunch sprint rather than a breakaway win, but what made it interesting was how nearly every version of that sprint could shuffle the hierarchy. And the startlist backed that up — Philipsen, De Lie, Merlier, Kooij, Pithie, Wærenskjold, Groenewegen, Girmay, Milan, Kubiš — basically every sprinter who mattered this summer, all lined up for the same 191.3km loop through the Hageland.

The script nearly got hijacked. A five-man breakaway kept the sprinters’ teams honest through the rain-soaked opening stage, and the escapees came agonizingly close to holding off the peloton. With 2km to go the gap still sat at 15 seconds as leadout trains scrambled to bring it back on the wet roads, but hesitation in the final kilometer proved fatal, and the catch came just before the sprint opened.

What followed was chaos. The finale had no organized leadout, just a scramble, until Jonathan Milan hit the front with just over 100 meters left and looked home. He was — barely. Olav Kooij made it close enough that the win needed a photo finish to confirm, with Tim Merlier completing the podium.

For Milan, it’s the kind of form-continuation story that makes editors happy — he carried his momentum straight over from the Tour de Pologne into Belgium. For everyone else who lined up in that “Sprinters’ Super Bowl” field, it’s an early reminder: in a bunch this deep, a 100-meter gap is the difference between champagne and a very long bus ride to Blankenberge.

Wiebes Wins Again as Tour of Britain Women Kicks Off in Cockermouth

Move over, Tour de France Femmes: the WorldTour didn’t take a breath before diving straight into the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women, and stage 1 delivered exactly what we’ve come to expect: Lorena Wiebes crossing the line first.

The 158.9km opener from Cockermouth to Cockermouth wasn’t pan-flat, but the lumps on offer weren’t enough to keep the fast women out of the finale. That didn’t stop plenty of riders from trying, though, as this was a stage that refused to sit still.

Before a wheel had even properly turned in anger, crosswind-conscious squads Liv AlUla Jayco, FDJ-SUEZ, and Fenix-Premier Tech went to the front to shatter the bunch. The split never fully materialized, but the nerves it created were real, and a crash claimed Dutch champion Lieke Nooijen, who was forced to abandon.

Enter Audrey De Keersmaeker, who used the lull to launch a lone raid, building a gap of roughly two minutes with more than 60km still on the clock. Brave, but ultimately not enough, as the bunch reeled her back in after about 30km off the front, aided by a late split on a climb that briefly trimmed the group to twenty riders, Wiebes included.

The final 15km turned into full-scale attack mode, with Riejanne Markus, Shirin van Anrooij, and Kim Le Court all taking their turns at the sharp end. Markus went again with 5km to go, towing Mischa Bredewold along for the ride, but SD Worx-Protime had a fast finisher to protect and refused to help it stick.

Cue the inevitable: a bunch sprint, and Wiebes doing what Wiebes does. Perfectly delivered by her leadout train, she powered clear of Chiara Consonni and Josie Nelson for win number seventeen of the season. The Dutch machine rolls on, and so does the race, with the yellow (er, whatever-color-Britain-uses) jersey now on her shoulders.

Future Stars Align: Tour de l’Avenir Returns With Its Sharpest Field Yet

One look at the list of past winners of the Tour de l’Avenir and you’ll conclude: This race indeed predicts future stars’ ascendancy. Egan Bernal, Tadej Pogačar, Marc Soler, Paul Seixas: the roll call reads like a WorldTour startlist five years early. And with commercial development teams back in the mix alongside national squads for 2026, the mini-Tour de France returns to Ouistreham on August 20 for a 940.1km, seven-stage hunt through France into Italy.

The route is classic Avenir: four days for puncheurs, sprinters, and breakaway artists before the race gets serious. A climbing time trial at Les Carroz-Flaine on stage 5 sets the stage for the queen stage the next day, when the peloton tackles the Col de Saisies and Cormet de Roselend en route to a summit finish atop the Col de l’Iseran, at 2,770m, the highest paved pass in Europe. Stage 7 into Ceresole Reale offers one last chance to flip the GC before Turin.

The man to beat is reigning U23 World Champion Lorenzo Finn (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe), who’s been on an absolute tear this season — the Giro d’Italia U23 title, three pro wins including the Sibiu Tour overall, and a fourth place here last year suggesting unfinished business. His stiffest competition comes from South America: Brazil’s Henrique Bravo (Soudal-Quick-Step Development) has been quietly brilliant all year, while Ecuador’s Matéo Ramírez, already Movistar-bound for 2027, keeps finishing just behind Finn everywhere he goes.

Belgium’s Niels Driesen (Lotto-Groupe Wanty) looks like the strongest European threat after winning the Ronde de l’Isard, and Decathlon CMA CGM brings a cyclo-cross crossover story in Aubin Sparfel. The Dutch contingent is thin this year — just four riders, headlined by teenagers Daan Dijkman and Michiel Mouris — with Visma | Lease a Bike Development fielding zero Dutch riders at all.

For the sprints, keep an eye on Italy’s Davide Donati, who headlines a trio of fast men chasing the race’s limited flat-stage opportunities.

The Aftermath: Cycling Grapples With Finlay Tarling’s Death

A week on from Finlay Tarling’s death at the Volta a Portugal, the fallout has moved from shock to scrutiny, and to an outpouring of support that even the Tarling family didn’t see coming.

The 19-year-old Welsh rider and younger brother of Ineos’s Josh Tarling was struck by a van on stage eight while chasing back to the peloton on a downhill section. What’s emerged since has made the tragedy harder to sit with. A lieutenant with Portugal’s National Republican Guard told Dutch outlet Wieler Revue that the driver had stopped at a secondary access point, waited, and asked bystanders whether the race had passed. He says he was told it had, and drove on, straight into the returning bunch, with no police stationed at that stretch of road.

The near-miss-turned-fatality has reignited a longer-running fight over pro cycling’s helmet standards. CPA equipment commission voices have been pushing for stricter regulation for years, arguing the governing CE EN 1078 standard, now nearly three decades old, was never built for a peloton racing at record average speeds. Fin’s death, coming after Gino Mäder, André Drege, Muriel Furrer and Samuele Privitera, has turned that slow-burn campaign into something louder and angrier, with EF’s Jonathan Vaughters among those publicly pushing back on how officials have characterized the “hole in the system” that let it happen.

Amid all of it, the response from the sport has been enormous. A GoFundMe set up by Fin’s agent, aimed at building a legacy fund for young Welsh riders, blew past its initial targets within days and has now cleared £40,000, with donations still climbing. Fin’s parents, Michael and Dawn, have posted twice since the crash, thanking a cycling community that — as they put it — has carried them through the hardest days of their lives.

No criminal charges are expected for the driver, with police calling the crash the result of a gap in coverage rather than negligence. That answer will satisfy almost no one in a peloton still asking how this kept happening.

The GoFundMe, which has increased to over £65,000, can be found here: gofundme.com.

How La Vuelta Made Tadej Pogačar

All that gushing in the Vuelta overview above makes it easy to forget that it wasn’t long ago that Tadej Pogačar emerged onto cycling’s Grand stage: the 2019 Vuelta a España.

This Saturday will mark his tenth Grand Tour start. It’s fitting that this is where he may complete the Grand Tour triple crown, and win one of the few major victories that has thus far eluded him, because it was the Spanish race that first proved he was something special.

Pogacar wasn’t supposed to ride a Grand Tour at all in his rookie 2019 season. UAE Team Emirates had him penciled in for a slow build — a Giro or Vuelta debut in 2020, the Tour in 2021. His form tore up the plan. A win at the Tour of California (he was too young for the podium champagne) fast-tracked him into that year’s Vuelta at just 20 years old, lining up alongside three former champions and a stacked field of young climbers tipped to fight for the race’s brand-new white jersey.

He didn’t disappoint. A stage win at Cortals d’Encamp, another at Los Machucos, the white jersey, and finally the green points jersey — capped by a stage victory at Plataforma de Gredos on the penultimate day, attacking solo 38km out to seal third overall. Watching from home, Eddy Merckx knew immediately what he’d seen: “That day, I knew we were dealing with an exceptional champion.”

The numbers backed up the eye test. Not since the years around the First World War had a rider stood on a Grand Tour podium before turning 21 — only Fausto Coppi, Antonio Jimenez, and Giambattista Baronchelli had managed it. Nobody had won three mountain stages that young.

Five Tour titles, a Giro, and two Tour runner-up finishes later, Pogacar returns to the race that started it all — this time as the man everyone else is chasing, still missing only the jersey that first announced him to the world.

Andrew August Signs with Pinarello Q36.5

It’s the latest signing intended to diversify a team originally built around Tom Pidcock: American Andrew “A.J.” August, fresh off of a win at the Czech Tour, has inked a three-year deal with Pinarello Q36.5.

The 20-year-old claimed two consecutive uphill stage wins at the Czech Tour before securing the general classification on Sunday, The win follows a 2026 season in which August has already won at the Volta Comunitat Valenciana and claimed his first WorldTour victory at Itzulia Basque Country.

“Winning the Czech Tour was a confirmation for me,” said August. “I had been feeling really strong in training in the weeks before, and then everything came together. To win the GC and two stages gives me a lot of confidence. I’m still discovering my limits and what kind of rider I can become.”

August grew up racing in the United States before making the transition to Europe as a junior. His early career also included cyclocross, an experience that he says helped develop the aggressive racing instincts and bike-handling skills he still carries into the peloton today. At just 18, he made the unusual step directly from the junior ranks into INEOS, spending his first three professional seasons inside one of cycling’s most established high-performance environments.

 

Juan Rodriguez Promoted to WorldTour with EF Education-EasyPost

Colombian climber Juan Rodriguez has been promoted to EF Education-EasyPost’s WorldTour roster after a permanent call-up from the team’s U23 development squad, EF Education-Aevolo. The 22-year-old will also make his grand tour debut at this month’s Vuelta a España.

Rodriguez joined the U23 program at the start of the 2026 season and quickly impressed staff. After finishing third at the Colombian national championships in January, he traveled to Europe, where he raced with the WorldTour team at the Volta ao Algarve and took third overall at the Tour of Rhodes Powered by Rodos Palace. Two further WorldTour appearances followed before he placed fourth overall at the Alpes Isère Tour, a category 2.2 race.

“This feels like a dream,” Rodriguez said of the promotion, adding that he expects to support the team at the Vuelta as a domestique while looking for opportunities as they arise.

Head of Scouting Sebastian Langeveld said the team had deliberately built Rodriguez’s race program to let him target GC results in the U23 ranks before stepping up, citing the Alpes Isère Tour as a key data point. Langeveld said the decision to accelerate his move, made together with Jonathan Vaughters, was based on a strong run of results over the summer. He added that Rodriguez will use the Vuelta primarily to learn the domestique role from more experienced teammates, with potential chances on climbing breakaway stages.

The full Vuelta a España roster for EF Education-EasyPost will be confirmed in the coming days.

Equal Pay, But Only in the Metaverse: The Prize Money Gap Road Racing Won’t Close

The numbers don’t lie, and this year they’re uglier than usual. The 2026 Tour de France paid its men’s champion €500,000 for three weeks of suffering. (Also way too low IMO. — Mike) The women’s champion collected a tenth of that — €50,000 — for a race with comparable viewership. Zoom out and the gap holds across the board: €2.3 million total prize money for the men, €250,000 for the women. Stage wins, jerseys, combativity awards — every line item tells the same story.

Now compare that to e-racing, where MyWhoosh has quietly built a different model. The platform’s recent MyWhoosh Championships, a seven-day virtual stage race, split a $1 million prize pool evenly between men and women — same podium, same paycheck. It’s not a one-off: the weekly Sunday Race Club pays out roughly $300,000 a month, equally divided. Mary Kate McCarthy, one of the standout earners this season, pocketed around $148,000 — money that simply doesn’t exist for women on the road.

That parity may be part of what’s pulling WorldTour talent onto the trainer. At the Sunday Race Club Women’s Finals in July, AG Insurance’s Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, a decorated road pro with a UCI Esports World Championship already on her palmarès, lined up and finished 4th in the elite field. When a rider of her caliber chooses pixels over pavement, and gets paid the same as the men doing it, it’s worth asking what that says about where the incentives in this sport are actually pointing.
