Introducing Issue 146. An autumn gravel special.

What does a gravel champion look like? Two time Traka 360 winner Karolina Migoń is one answer: proof that talent still rises without a linear path.

Plus riders talk about the terrain that defines the discipline for them. Chessin Gertler's ultra-distance ride across Massachusetts. Douwe den Held tracing Che Guevara's route through Bolivia. Alice Jackson bikepacking through Pogačar's native Slovenia. Lastly, Eddy and Axel Merckx on three generations of family history with Rachel Jary.

Time trials have never been Enric Mas’s forte, but on stage 18 the race leader limited his losses to rival Primož Roglic, maintaining a lead of 1:37 in the general classification. It forced fighting talk from his challengers as the race heads into the mountains for a fiery finale.
​
Will we see Roglič settle for second place – or is he willing to risk it all for a record-breaking fifth Vuelta win?

The resting is almost over. So too is the anticipation. After the second rest day at the Vuelta a España came two sprint days — both of them won, of course, by Matthew Brennan — but now the race for the red jersey springs back into life with one of the most eagerly awaited Grand Tour time trials in recent years, certainly this season. Perhaps not since the penultimate stages of the 2020 Tour de France or the 2023 Giro d'Italia has there been that much intrigue surrounding a race against the clock in a three-week race. And guess who's the main protagonist yet again? Primož Roglič.

Red jersey Enric Mas is expected to lose time to the Slovenian, but how much? Read our analysis here: https://www.rouleur.cc/racing/roles-reversed-hunted-hunts-hunter-vuelta-time-trial

After crossing the finish line of stage 16 in Palos de la Frontera, four fingers aloft, it didn't take Matty Brennan long to start looking forwards. Not to tomorrow, when another sprint stage beckons, or even to Granada on Sunday. Far beyond that. To next July, when the Tour de France will start on home soil.

"I already said it to the team two years ago, when I heard about the UK start: I would really like to be there on the start line, and to have guys like Wout [van Aert] and Christophe [Laporte] there too," he said after the race. "If we do the same thing [as] here, we can really try to replicate that into a yellow jersey on day one."

Before this year, where Visma also won six stages at the Giro d'Italia, the last time the team secured this many stage wins was at the 2022 Tour de France, where van Aert secured green and Jonas Vingegaard won the yellow jersey. In this year's Tour, Vingegaard was forced to abandon after a crash on stage 15, and Visma secured a single stage win at the opening team time trial. Against an imperious Pogačar, we might wonder: would the team be better off diluting its GC ambitions next year, and bringing a versatile sprinter like Brennan? Or is it possible to go for both?

The final week of the 2026 Vuelta a España will take place entirely in Andalusia. For the first time in its history, the Spanish Grand Tour will finish in Granada. Its final stage climbs up to the Alhambra's red walls on the same slopes Boabdil, Muhammad XI of Granada, descended in defeat over five centuries ago. ⁠

Rouleur travels through Andalusia's olive groves and orange trees to trace a region shaped by Muslims, Jews and Christians alike. Read the feature in our upcoming magazine, issue 146, on the Rouleur app or online: https://www.rouleur.cc/culture/vuelta-al-andalus
