Astana Qazaqstan Team has revealed the names of riders who will be present at the start line in Vuelta a Espana. Alexey Lutsenko and Vincenzo Nibali will lead the team.
Vincenzo Nibali is likely to retire after the end of this season, which makes this Vuelta a Espana his last grand tour. Nibali will focus on mountain stages. He finished eleventh in Vuelta a Burgos, Fourth in Giro d'Italia and Giro di Sicilia.
Alexey Lutsenko is another trump card of the team. He finished ninth in Tour de France, took bronze in the seventh stage of Tour de Suisse, and gold in Clásica Jaén Paraiso Interior.
David de la Cruz and Miguel Ángel López will support the duo. Lopez’s selection for the tour was not sure since allegations of drug and human trafficking, but later team revoked his suspension. Samuele Battistella, Yevgeniy Fedorov, Vadim Pronskiy and Harold Tejada complete the squad.

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
