Cycling fans are gearing up for the Vuelta a Catalunya (Cycling Tour of Catalonia). The century-old event, one of the three oldest in the world, is enjoying a successful period that has seen the best cyclists compete in Catalan cycling races in recent years. While three-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar (UAE) won in 2024, with exhibitions that will be remembered for years to come, 2025 was supposed to be the debut year for Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma). But the two-time Tour de France champion will ultimately be out due to the crash that forced him to abandon Paris-Nice just over a week ago.
