After impressive performances earlier this year at the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France, the AG2R Citroen Team have unveiled the eight-man lineup they intend to achieve success with at the 2023 Vuelta a Espana.
"We arrive at the start of the Vuelta a Espana with an ambitious team. The number 1 objective will be to win stages," explains Julien Jurdie to the team's official website. "We want to make it three by winning a stage of every grand tour this season. We already achieved this in 2006 and 2021. This time, Aurélien Paret-Peintre at the Giro d'Italia and Felix Gall at the Tour de France have shown us the way. Now it's up to us! We'll have to be bold and opportunistic to slip into the breakaways and raise our arms."
A lineup of Dorian Godon, Geoffrey Bouchard, Mikaël Chérel, Paul Lapeira, Nicolas Prodhomme, Damien Touzé, Andrea Vendrame and Larry Warbasse show off a varied team with opportunities for victory set to come from various different types of stages.
AG2R Citroen Team for the Vuelta a Espana:

- The UCI really loves tempting fate, don't they?
santiagobenites22-07-2025 - Soudal having a good year and still outscoring UAE on stage wins since 2015. Wellens was only the 2nd other UAE to Tadej to win a tdf stage, that just about says it all, a team totally focused on its leader, even Trump has more difficulty keeping lieutenants in line ;-)Mistermaumau22-07-2025
- Aso has to make money off of the events or else they won't exist, the riders know this. At times fans and motorcycles have created chaos in the race, this I absolutely do not agree with. I've often wondered why don't they push the finish line photographers further away and have them use larger lenses. As to the fans on the roadside I agree with your take but it would be impossible logistically to stop them as long as they are using public roads.awp22-07-2025
- Sounds like Real Madrid, doesn’t always go as expected though ;-)Mistermaumau22-07-2025
- Cool of him to admit it. What I’d like to get opinions on is this pacing by domestiques, obviously helpful in many places but up a 7, 8, 9% gradient? They’re averaging around 20km/h much of the time, there’s practically no wind advantage so why are they all so keen on having a teammate to ride in front before trying an attack?placebo or real advantage?Mistermaumau22-07-2025
- You are not wrong. UAE has given him plenty of opportunities. But his GT chances are going to get thinner. Almeida needs his own chances as a reward for being the ultimate teammate for Pogi. Del Toro is up and coming. Bottom line - UAE can do without him and there are some teams that could use a rider like him to be competitive in GC.mobk22-07-2025
- They probably stopped watching as the first 3 crossed the line, minimal service. I was following live text that continued reporting on interviews which seems to be when it happened but didn’t see it either and don’t need to.Mistermaumau22-07-2025

- See, obviously stupid people just don’t know they’re stupid, and so much more embarrassing to be in the way as a photographer, someone you’d expect to be good at seeing things around him.Mistermaumau22-07-2025
