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:

- Well Tadej had no trouble winning stage 7 of the Dauphine last month with 3 HC climbs, basically a carbon copy of stage 18's profile so...norsiiii15-07-2025
- so did Tadej attack to get rid of Jonas, or get rid of Jonas’ teammates? I think the latter. this is Tadej’s preferred method of riding. don’t end up on the final climb outnumbered, and then it is one on one. and since there is still so much racing, just get it down to even terms and cruise to the end.mij15-07-2025
- I know, VC even said as much. he said they did nothing as Tadej was always there and able to respond. we’ll see.mij15-07-2025
- agreed. this is not Jonas preferred terrain. how will Tadej hold up on 3 long climbs on stage 18? that is where Jonas can shine.mij15-07-2025
- Can you link that? Also, as a U23 Pogi was shown to have a great ability to shed latic acid at a very fast rate. Allowing him to go harder for longer than most.md197515-07-2025
- Hasn't worked this year. Pogi is only going after a serious threat. Even then, depends how serious he thinks it is. Remco went and Pogi didn't do anything. He only went 1 time on stage 10...to see what Jonas would do. And then he sat up. Visma needs a plan they haven't used in the pastmd197515-07-2025
- Jonas doesn't have the motor to beat Pogi. And if he keeps playing games Remco is looking good and very well could end up 2nd and Jonas won't even be top 3.md197515-07-2025
- His attacks of Tadeg did absolutely nothing! Why is everyone raving about it?frieders315-07-2025
- Lucky for Remco that Tadeg and Joans roade to the finish line soft pedaling! He can't stay with them when they attack!frieders315-07-2025
- Those killer bees better get in line and start riding 100% for Jonas, especially Wout.
