With Tadej Pogačar out after a crash, UAE loses control and the Vuelta shifts from a likely, disciplined march to Granada into a chaotic, unpredictable two weeks. Breakaways gain traction, the mountains and green jersey become wide open, Primož Roglič and Enric Mas emerge as the main GC challengers, and teams must rethink strategies as the peloton faces a new era with no single dominant rider overseeing the race.
The opening individual time trial of the 2026 Vuelta a España travels roughly 9.4–9.6km through Monaco, with Diego Uriarte first off the ramp around 16:17 CET and Primož Roglič the last rider at 19:20 CET. Notables like Wout van Aert (19:17) and Tadej Pogačar (19:19) are among the favourites, while Jonas Vingegaard is absent due to injury. The race also features two ITTs, the Stage 1 opener and a 32km TT on Stage 18, and the Monaco course includes twists, tunnels and landmarks from Monte Carlo to Boulevard Albert 1er.
During stage 16 of the Giro d'Italia, Primoz Roglic abandoned after a crash in rainy conditions, while Italian rider Alessio Martinelli was rescued after sliding into a ravine and taken to hospital in stable condition.
