Primož Roglič (Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe, SLO) wins Vuelta a España 2026 Stage 18 ITT (El Puerto de Santa María → Jerez, 32.5 km, September 10, 2026)
Probability
40%
After Tadej Pogačar's withdrawal in Stage 8 (collarbone fracture, concussion, August 29, 2026), Enric Mas (Movistar) leads the GC with Roglič at 2:22. Roglič can reopen the GC race with a strong ITT performance. As a four-time Vuelta winner with world-class time-trialing ability, Roglič is the clear stage favorite on the 32.5 km course. Competition from pure ITT specialists (Küng, Ganna) is possible. No Polymarket odds for Vuelta stage wins; own calibration: 40% Roglič, 25% field candidate, 35% ITT specialist without GC ambitions.
