It took several days of waiting, but in the end the decision came: Primoz Roglic will race the Vuelta di Spagna starting on Friday 19 August with a team time trial in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

The preview news was announced by the Dutch newspaper Wielerflits : the official announcement came a few hours later from Jumbo-Visma.

The Slovenian, winner of the last three editions, had crashed in the Tour de France and was forced to retire. Subsequent tests had diagnosed the fracture of two vertebrae even though the team never released the doctors' report.

It seems that now he has recovered a good condition enough to have the ok from the doctors and the approval of the team.

However, doubts remain about the performances: will he be able to return to high levels during the three weeks of racing and to obtain consecutive poker successes?

At the start of the Vuelta, in the same team, there will certainly be Edoardo Affini, Robert Gesink, Chris Harper, Sepp Kuss and Mike Teunissen .

Fantamanager, will you bet on Roglic for the Vuelta?
