Who will win La Vuelta a España 2024?

[Armchair Cyclist]

We don't have one of these yet?
Top nine (excluding Ayuso, inexplicably listed) at Oddchecker as at midday-ish Tuesday, plus the statutory Vino

 

[Rou]

Primoz Roglic will clean the race again. Enough with the disrespect he's getting. Enough with putting Remco over him in Grand Tours after this July.

 

[Berniece]

If Landa can reach the same level as at the TDF he’s got a good chance.

 

[Red Rick]

Either Vuelta or Fallon d'Floor for Rogla

 

[Kaptain Kool]

Voted for Thee GOAT.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nairoman for the win!

(I'm too scared to vote for Rogla, he crashes. At this point I'm just kind of hoping he'll make it to the end of the Vuelta without any devastating crashes, fingers crossed.)

 

[Peter von]

I just ensured Rogla's win by voting GC Kuss FTW.

you're welcome Rogheads!

Kuss was much stronger last year than he got credit for because Jonas and Rogla was there as well. Peak Yates will beat him, but idk if I really believe Adam will reach the peak without being a Pogi donkey; maybe I am mistaken tho.
I don't think Rogla's prep is optimal.

 

[Lequack]

No Skjelmose, aka the young Vingegaard?

 

[YavorD]

If Almeida and Yates can reach their level from Suisse and the Tour they may very well be 1-2.
However, I don't believe they can keep such a peak for 3 months.
My vote goes for Roglic.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No Skjelmose, aka the young Vingegaard?

Skjelmose is more of a young Fuglsang.

 

[Peter von]

Skjelmose is more of a young Fuglsang.

I think they both won Tour of Denmark at the same age, it's 1 to 1

Edit:
Nvm. I just had Bad memory

Skjelmose never won Tour of Denmark.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Enric Mas, obviously..

 

[CyclistAbi]

I voted for Primož Roglič.

 

[RedheadDane]

I voted for Primož Roglič.

You did?!

 

[red_flanders]

Wondering if Carapaz can hold form long enough. Or how much he cares. Worth a vote. Fairly open race.

Most open race since...?

Roglic is the standout rider in terms of palmares but he has had far from an ideal preparation and his best days are now probably behind him. This could be his best chance at winning another grand tour given the big riders who are absent.

I'd like to see Mas or Almeida win it but I've gone with Yates who looked strong in Switzerland.

 

[red_flanders]

Don't know, what are your thoughts?

Just commenting on this race, it seems there's no obviously dominant rider given Roglič's difficulties, and a lot of very good riders potentially with ambition.

 

[Red Rick]

Most open race since...?

The much hyped and fondly remembered Giro d'Italia of 2022.

 

[Didinho]

If Landa can reach the same level as at the TDF he’s got a good chance.

He’s a different beast as a domestique. Let him know he’s riding for Knox and he’s easily winning the whole thing.

I’m voting Almeida. Good consistent level this year again, hope he can get his first GT win.

 

[red_flanders]

I'd like to see Skjelmose do something. A lot of these other guys I've seen plenty of before. Having a 23-year-old shake things up would be nice.

 

[Red Rick]

Feel like Yates and Almeida get a lot of credit for 2 riders who have not done 2 GTs in a row before and who have been flying since Suisse.

 

[Sciatic]

Mas to finally do it (or at least have the lead going into the final TT)

 

[pablohidalgo7]

Roglic in a good fight with Carapaz, with Mas and the UAE fighting for third place at distance.

P.S. People exaggerate too much with the level of Adam Yates nowadays, it's starting to get annoying.
