斯洛文尼亚自行车手塔德伊·波加查尔确认将参加2025年西班牙环赛，这是他七年来首次出战该项赛事[1]。西班牙环赛将于8月22日在摩纳哥启动，9月13日在格拉纳达收官，全程近3300公里[1]。
波加查尔在上月刚刚赢得生涯第五次环法自行车赛冠军，与埃迪·默克斯、米格尔·因杜拉因、雅克·昂克蒂尔和伯纳德·伊诺在这项赛事的冠军数上并列[1]。结合他已于2024年获得的环意赛冠军，波加查尔这次参赛的目标是在同一自然年内赢得环意和环法两项桂冠，进而实现三大环赛冠军的罕见壮举[1]。历史上仅有昂克蒂尔、伊诺和克里斯·弗罗姆三人曾在同一年内同时获得西班牙环赛和环法赛的冠军[1]。波加查尔上次参加西班牙环赛是在2019年，当时他获得第三名并赢得三个赛段[1]。
Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar has confirmed his participation in the Spanish Vuelta, marking his first appearance in the race in seven years [1]. The move comes after Pogačar claimed his fifth Tour de France title last month, equaling the record held by Eddy Merckx, Miguel Indurain, Jacques Anquetil, and Bernard Hinault [1]. Combined with his 2024 Giro d'Italia victory, Pogačar is now pursuing the rare feat of winning all three Grand Tours in a single calendar year, as well as securing the prestigious treble of Grand Tour championships [1].
The Spanish Vuelta will commence on August 22, 2025, in Monaco and conclude on September 13 in Granada, spanning nearly 3,300 kilometers [1]. Pogačar's last participation in the race came in 2019, when he finished third and claimed three stage victories [1]. Should he succeed this year, he would join an exclusive group—only Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault, and Chris Froome have previously won both the Spanish Vuelta and Tour de France in the same year [1].
