Vuelta a España set to go from sideshow to main event with 'star-studded' field of general classification hopes

ABC  

The Vuelta a España has always had something of an image problem. Ineos Grenadiers boast this year's Giro runner up Geraint Thomas, with two-time grand tour winner Egan Bernal also in his team. Michael Storer of Groupama FDJ, who won the week-long Tour de l'Ain for the second time earlier this year, will be looking to add to his two Vuelta stage wins, as will UAE Team Emirates star Jay Vine — if he is allowed off the leash as support for Almedia and Ayuso. Tour Down Under winner Vine won two stages in last year's race, with Storer claiming two stage wins and the overall mountains classification in 2021. Gympie's finest will have fond memories of La Vuelta, and perhaps Spain in general — he won his first ever grand tour stage in this race last year and added two stage wins at this year's Volta a Catalunya.
