Tadej Pogacar Returns On Top At The Vuelta a España Stage 1

Aug 22, 2026

Tadej Pogacar won Stage 1 of the 2026 Vuelta a España, blasting around Monaco in the 9.4-kilometer opening time trial.

He beat Ethan Hayter by a fraction of a second, with Josh Tarling also delivering an emotional ride.

Pogacar now wears the red leader’s jersey in his first Vuelta appearance since 2019, when he made his Grand Tour debut.

We review the dramatic Monaco opener and ask whether Pogacar can hold red all the way to the end.
