Jai Hindley may be the only one to win a Grand Tour with Bora-Hansgrohe, but the Giro d'Italia-winning Australian rider is not pulling away from a team with three overall contenders at the Vuelta a España.

Instead, the 26-year-old is taking a wait-and-see attitude, wondering whether he will be competing for the overall again this year at the Vuelta a España, one of the biggest races on the calendar, or supporting one of his teammates, Wilco Kjelderman or Sergio Iguita.

"I think it will probably be similar to the Giro. We came here with three good riders for the GC and more or less the road will decide," Hindley said at the team media conference before the Vuelta a España.

"There are no crazy egos or anything like that in the team. If my time drops in the first week, I'll do everything I can to help the guys who are still on GC. If that happens, people will support me and if that happens, I don't think you can ask for much more than that."

The most experienced of the GC trio is 31-year-old Kelderman, who has competed in the Vuelta a España four times and has consistently posted high overall results, starting with 14th in his first appearance in 2014 and finishing fourth in the GC Best Results in 2017. Iguita will be competing in his first Grand Tour this year and his second in the Spanish Grand Tour after debuting in 14th place in 2019. The Colombian won the Volta a Catalunya in March and finished second overall in the Tour de Suisse in June.

Hindley, like Hida, is lining up for the Vuelta for the second time, and after returning from a long break from racing after winning the Giro, he is ready to take on his second three-week race of the season after training at altitude and a Spanish race block that ends at the Vuelta a Burgos.

"I've never raced two Grand Tours in one year, so I don't know what will happen," said Hindley, who last raced the Vuelta in 2018. 'I'll rest after the Giro, rest my legs a little bit, and then slowly recover again.' I'm a little nervous, especially because I don't know what's going to happen in the last week, but I'm really excited."

Hindley is well aware that a top performance in one Grand Tour is no guarantee of what follows. According to the Western Australia native, the win was in some ways a relief from the pressure, but the added expectation of being able to back up that performance added to the pressure. '' he said.

Does that mean he thinks a second Grand Tour win this year is possible?

"It would be great," Hindley said, adding: "I'm focused on getting the best possible result in the Vuelta, and I would love to, because it would be pretty special if the team could win here. It would be special if the team could win here, so hopefully we can do that.
