all seven of cycling&#8217;s most prestigious one-week stage races.<\/p>\n<p>Having already won Paris-Nice (2022), Tirreno-Adriatico (2019, 2023), Volta a Catalunya (2023, 2025), Itzulia Basque Country (2018, 2021), Tour de Romandie 2018, 2019), and Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e9 (2022, 2024) in his illustrious career, it&#8217;s only the Swiss race which Rogli\u010d is missing from the major one-week set.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-76ffdb30-8737-4677-9b40-dd69eb7a6322-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">It&#8217;s the 36-year-old&#8217;s debut at the longstanding event, which has been cut down to five stages for 2026, and he arrives from altitude camp in Sierra Nevada as the outright leader for Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px]
