CyclingThursday, 21 August 2025 at 13:03
The 2025 Vuelta a España has it's startlist confirmed and we've got all the names that will be at the start in Torino this Saturday. We take a look at the oldest and youngest riders that will be racing the final Grand Tour of the season.
Neither the Giro d'Italia Tour de France have riders of such young age, but it did have older riders as 39-year old Geraint Thomas topped the charts in France and 40-year old Jakob Fuglsang was at in Italy.
Wout Poels and Damiano Caruso as virtually tied as the most veteran riders in this Vuelta peloton, both strong climbers who have realistic ambitions of winning a stage over the course of the three weeks. This Top10 includes important figures such as Mikel Landa and Michal Kwiatkowski, and there are no big gaps between the riders.
Wout Poels will start his 10th Vuelta a España. @Sirotti

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- Everyone shouts "rider x" is getting better and could beat Pogacar... Tadej is still improving year on year too.....slappers6604-12-2025
- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
