Cyclingnews preview and stages overview

The 2024 Vuelta a España celebrates its 79th edition this year with its first start in neighbouring Portugal since 1997 on Saturday August 17 in Lisbon and finishing in the Spanish capital, Madrid on Sunday September 8.

The route will cover 3,304 kilometres and contains 52,279 metres of vertical climbing over 21 days of racing.

Race organisers Unipublic have created a typically ultra-mountainous route with an opening and concluding time trial, nine summit finishes. With the exception of stage 9 through the mountains of Sierra Nevada, most of the toughest stages are concentrated in the second half of the race. 

2023 champion Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike) will be present in the 2024 Vuelta and is aiming for a repeat overall victory.

Other top names include - subject to confirmation - triple Vuelta a España winner Primoz Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates), 20216 Vuelta champion Nairo Quintana (Movistar), Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike), Ben O’Connor (Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale), Aleksandre Vlasov (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates)
