Vuelta a España Vuelta 2025 route rumors

Gran Salida in.... Piemonte?

2025 is when the Vuelta takes the final stages to the Canary Islands, or so we were told 10 years ago.

Rumours say that they will skip Southern Spain. It seems that the race will transfer from Italy to Alicante and go North to Andorra and/or Vall d'Aran. Then it will turn West: Navarra, Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias. The last week will start in Galicia and will have the final stages in Avila and Madrid. There is nothing known about stage routes, departure and finish places.

The Vuelta returns to Andorra for a mountain stage at the end of the first week, possibly on Col de la Botella. Cabús was considered but it seems the logistics are difficult for Unipublic (tell that to those who have not seen stage finishes at Cortals' d'Encamp or Gamoniteiro)


Looks like the proposal of starting from Alicante after the Italian opening stages is dropped in favour of doing three stages in Catalunya. Interestingly there's a mention to stage 4 being on high mountains going to Briançon.

The end of the second week will be in Asturias with two lazy candidate MTFs:


Pog on the way to smash Heras' record once and forever.
