Are you wondering what are pros racing on the Vuelta a Espana 2021 ?

If so this post will feed your interest as I review each team’s roosters and depict on what are pros racing on the Vuelta a Espana 2021.

23 teams of 8 riders start the Spanish Grand Tour that is held for three weeks.

Among the 23 teams, 6 teams are racing with 12 speeds (Campagnolo / Sram)while the remaining 17 teams are racing with only 11 speeds (Shimano / FSA).

Only one team is racing with rim brakes, the Team Ineos – Grenadier.

If the last two edition of La Vuelta have been won on rim brakes by Primož ROGLIČ , this year the odds are thin for the Vuelta to be won on rim brakes as Primož is now on disc.

Will the Vuelta be won by disc brakes bike or rim brakes? Whichever is fine, I only gather facts and have no particular preference. For sure the rim brakes era is fading away.

By reading further you will find the following informations:

  • Full details of each team’s bikes and specification
  • Link to each rider’s bike size and fitting details (Riders details are updated throughout the year)

This post is dedicated to the Giro d’Italia 2021’s Team Bikes and Riders Start list. It is an ongoing project started and I will try to keep this page updated as time goes.

The 2021 Giro d’Italia edition starts May 8th with an Individual Time Trial (ITT) and ends on May 30th in Milano with another ITT.

As they say in finance, past performances doesn’t guarantee future results. Each edition of the Giro is unpredictable and I feel it is even more prevalent since 2020.

This year is it the 75th edition of the Vuelta ciclista a España. It is overlapping with the 3rd week of the Giro 2020.

Traditionally the Vuelta mark the end of the Grand Tours season and more this year than most of the time due to the shortened racing season.

The Vuelta a España offers splendid landscape which makes it a pleasure to watch like the two other Grand Tours.

The 2020 Giro d’Italia edition start has been delayed and is held from October 3rd till 25th included. The mountain stages in the 3rd week might have snow at this time of the year.

I think the Giro d’Italia is usually harder and the most spectacular of the 3 Grand Tours. Most of the stages are designed to initiate riders action and this year race keeps up with Giro’s Spirit.
