What to expect at the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a<\/p>\n

The Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a is the final three-week race of the year, following the Giro d’Italia in May and the Tour de France in July. It wasn’t always this way round \u2013 for the first 60 years of its history the Spanish race was the first Grand Tour on the calendar, before being moved in 1995 with the aim of attracting bigger name riders.<\/p>\n

Despite this, it continues to exist in the shadow of its siblings to some extent, but can still feature an impressive start list. This year’s is none too shabby, featuring Jonas Vingegaard<\/a> as favourite no less, supported by a very capable team including Matteo Jorgenson and former winner Sepp Kuss.<\/p>\n

They will face an impressive set of opponents, including a strong UAE Team Emirates-XRG squad that features Jo\u0101o Almeida and Juan Ayuso.<\/p>\n

Also riding are Egan Bernal, Tom Pidcock, former Giro d’Italia winner Jai Hindley and Ben O’Connor<\/a>, who finished second on GC in last year’s Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

The relentless parcours means the GC contenders will rarely be far from the action from start to finish.<\/p>\n
