PCS Stage Profiles
Cyclingnews preview and stages overview
The theme of the 2023 Vuelta a España is climbing, with ten stages ending with uphill finishes, including the punishing ascents such as the Col du Tourmalet on the same day as the hors categorie Col d'Aubisque, Col du Soulor and Col de Spandelles, and a short but frantic stage finishing on the brutally steep Altu de l’Angliru.
The 3,154km route features only 39.6km of time trialling, starting with the opening 14.6km team time trial, and the 25km individual time trial on stage 10.
The 2023 Vuelta a España route includes a demanding final week with two tough summit finishes including the fearsome Angliru capping off a 122.6-kilometre, action-packed day of climbing on stage 17, followed by a new summit finish on the Puerto de la Cruz de Linares on stage 18.
Other climbs that will be seen for the first time include the Arinsal in Andorra (stage 3), Larra -Belagua (stage 14), and Bejes (stage 16).
