The Vuelta a España is set to start on Saturday August 23 in Turin, Italy, and will run for three weeks to finish on Sunday September 14. The final Grand Tour of the year, it represents the last chance for big name contenders who have so far missed out to redeem their seasons – but the Spanish race has its own character and challenges for fans to enjoy too.

Held entirely in the northern half of the country, the race snakes east to west across the Pyrenees and then the Asturias before dropping down to the centre for its final four stages.
