The 2025 Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a<\/a> is so mountainous that few sprinters have opted to take the start, but that hasn’t stopped Jasper Philipsen from joining Alpecin-Deceuninck’s team for the Spanish Grand Tour.<\/p>\n

Mads Pedersen<\/a> (Lidl-Trek) is another top sprinter who will be gunning for stage wins and the green points jersey. Kaden Groves, who won the classification in 2024, is not on the start list.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The race is also the last gasp for teams either hoping to avoid WorldTour relegation or be promoted, and Picnic-PostNL will be counting on Casper van Uden to challenge in the flat stages.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a 2025 contenders<\/a> will be featured in most of the other stages, with 11 uphill finishes on the menu.<\/p>\n

Jonas Vingegaard<\/a> (Vismal-Lease a Bike) and Jo\u00e3o Almeida (UAE Team Emirates XRG) are the top names.
