Alberto Contadortriple winner of the Vuelta, pointed out this Thursday “If I were Pogacar, I would go to the Vuelta” and predicted that the Slovenian world champion will have a “very tough rival” in 2025 with the Dane Jonas Vingegaard.
“Pogacar has time to win the Vuelta, it’s not life or death this year. Pogacar is ready to win the best race in the world, without a doubt, and the Vuelta a España is one of the great ones.. It must be here sooner or later. “If I were him, I would go to the Vuelta,” he said.
As for whether the Slovenian, triple Tour and World champion, will have another season of total dominance, Contador commented that it depends on Dane Jonas Vingegaard.
“Vingegaard is a rider you can’t trust. He is a rider of incredible quality, he is very professional, and this year he suffered a sprain as a result of a fall. In 2025 you will want to change your luck, improve and level up. Pogacar with Vingegaard will have a very tough rival,” he explained.
Contador, the only Spanish cyclist to win the Big 3, defined the route presented in Madrid.
“For me, it’s a fascinating return for the viewer, with a high finish and 2 times. It’s going to be fantastic and if it competes that’s even better.”
