For most professional cyclists, winning a Grand Tour is the pinnacle of their career. Although the Vuelta a España might be the last three-week race of the season, it doesn't make it any less of a jewel in a rider's palmarès.

This year's edition, which started on Saturday in the Italian city of Turin, might not have Tadej Pogačar on the startlist, but it is still bursting at the seams with riders eyeing a tilt at the maillot rojo.
