Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) will ride the Vuelta a España, the Slovenian deemed fit to target a fourth title after recovering from his Tour de France injuries. 

Roglič has not raced since his exit from the Tour de France, and only returned to training 10 days ago. However, his team have seen enough since then to believe he can be competitive at the Vuelta, which begins in Utrecht, Holland, on Friday.
