Mid‑July 2026 saw Primož Roglič, the four‑time Vuelta a España champion with Red Bull‑BORA‑Hansgrohe, struck by a car while training in Austria. Medical checks ruled out fractures, but a large thigh bruise forced him to withdraw from the Clásica San Sebastián and the Vuelta a Burgos, key preparation races ahead of the Vuelta a España, which begins on 22 August in Monaco. Roglič confirmed his focus remains on the Grand Tour and announced plans for rehabilitation. By the end of July, his team expressed confidence that he will recover in time, keeping him among the sport’s top contenders and still targeting a possible fifth Vuelta overall win. His 2026 season to date includes top‑10 finishes in several WorldTour races and the Slovenian national time‑trial title.
