  "account": "The Vuelta a Espana 2026 is set to commence on August 22, 2026, in Monaco, concluding on September 13. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard will not participate due to a collarbone injury sustained during the Tour de France. His main rival, Tadej Pogacar, returns to the race after finishing third in 2019, winning three stages and being named the best young rider. Pogacar, the two-time world champion, is the favorite, with his UAE Team Emirates-XRG team likely to secure a podium finish. British cyclist Matthew Brennan makes his grand tour debut, while Wout van Aert and Mads Pedersen vie for the points jersey. The race will feature 21 stages plus two rest days, starting in Monaco and ending in Granada. To watch the Vuelta a Espana 2026 in the UK, viewers can tune in on TNT Sports or stream it on HBO Max, with free-to-air highlights available on DMAX.",
