Who Won The Vuelta A España In 2024?
Slovenia’s Primoz Roglic won the Vuelta a España in 2024 for a record-equaling fourth career victory at the storied race.
The former ski jumper has been plagued by crashes and injuries, including two significant ones in 2024, but he continues to persevere and managed to land himself among the year’s most memorable moments with wins at the 2024 Critérium du Dauphiné and La Vuelta.
Roglic, who won the Vuelta a España in 2019, 2020 and 2021, joined Spain’s Roberto Heras as the event’s only four-time champions (2000, 2003, 2004, 2005) and made it a clean sweep for Slovenia in the Grand Tours in 2024, with Pogacar winning the Giro and TDF.
