The 79th edition of the Vuelta a España begins this Saturday, and as a result, many teams have been announcing their lineups for the Grand Tour ahead of the big day.
Three-time champion Primož Roglič has successfully recovered from injury in order to race his second three-week race for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, and will surely go in as the favourite. He will be joined by Aleksandr Vlasov, who also crashed out of the Tour de France , along with Dani Martínez, in a strong team.
Roglič is the favourite, but the race is also wide open. Defending champion Sepp Kuss will race for Visma-Lease a Bike, alongside Wout van Aert , making his debut in Spain, and Cian Uijtdebroeks.
A strong UAE Team Emirates squad is due to be led by João Almeida and Adam Yates, but they are joined by a team full of GC contenders, with Marc Soler, Isaac Del Toro, Pavel Sivakov and Brandon McNulty all there too.
Ineos Grenadiers will be spearheaded by Carlos Rodríguez and Thymen Arensman, who will both be aiming for the podium at least, with Josh Tarling riding a Grand Tour for the first time.
Tao Geoghegan Hart will ride his first Grand Tour for Lidl-Trek, after he was r uled out of the Tour de France with Covid . He will be joined by Giulio Ciccone and Mattias Skjelmose in a strong lineup from the American team.
EF Education-EasyPost are to be led by Richard Carapaz, winner of the mountains classification and an Alpine stage at the Tour, supported ably by Rigoberto Urán.
Meanwhile, Nairo Quintana will return to the Vuelta, a race he won in 2016, for the first time since 2019. The Movistar squad also includes perennial podium hopeful Enric Mas.
The 2024 race begins on Saturday 17 August in Lisbon, Portugal and finishes in Madrid, Spain, just over three weeks later on 8 September.
Eight men are allowed in each squad, with a mix of climbers, sprinters, general classification hopefuls and domestiques. All 18 WorldTour teams will be present, alongside ProTeams Israel-Premier Tech, Lotto Dstny, Euskaltel-Euskadi and Equipo Kern Pharma.
Below are the confirmed squads for the race. We will update this page with more riders as teams are announced.
