Burgs-BH the penultimate team to announce Vuelta a Espana lineup - Bol, Sánchez and Navarro give hopes
Cycling
The Burgos BH team is preparing to participate in the great Spanish race, the Vuelta a Espana, with a combination of young and experienced cyclists who have had an outstanding performance throughout the season. The team led by Julio Andrés Izquierdo has been invited to this three-week event, which will start in Barcelona and finish in Madrid, demonstrating their bravery in the race and good performances throughout the year.
The selection of the eight cyclists who will take the start has not been an easy task, given that the purple squad has won six victories in the last eight months. Five riders repeat from the 2022 edition, while the debutant will be Uruguayan Eric Fagúndez, who has had a great performance in his first season as a professional, excelling in stage tours.
The team counts on the experience of veteran climber Dani Navarro, who will be competing in his ninth Vuelta a España. Also expected to perform well in the high mountains is José Manuel Díaz Gallego, who could be an asset for the general classification. Dutchman Jetse Bol, known for his combativeness and presence in mountain prize fights, will compete for the seventh time in La Vuelta.
Jesús Ezquerra, from Cantabria, is another candidate to excel in breakaways, having recently participated in the World Championships. The team's youngest rider, Pelayo Sánchez, returns to the Vuelta after two years, marking the stages of the last week after his victory in the Vuelta a Asturias.
Ander Okamika, who has been part of the team since 2021, ensures his presence in La Vuelta, while Cyril Barthe will bring speed and skill in selective stages, adding a victory in the Volta al Alentejo in his first season with Burgos BH.

- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- Yeah man...PogiSloFans07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
- My memories of Ivan Basso aren't good but I liked his sister Elisa ok.flyer07-11-2026
