Vuelta a España Vuelta 2025 route rumors

[ice&fire]

The east side of Farrapona isn't in Asturias and therefore almost certainly a non-starter for an Asturian stage.

The east side of Farrapona has been paved and opened this week!

After the Picon Blanco stage this year, I can see Unipublic doing the loop Farrapona, Ventana, San Lorenzo, Farrapona.

Vuelta will reveal the route on 19th of December.
The question is, will we have a Giro route revealed before that or no?

 

[houtdffan]

does Unipublic even exist any more?

This is an ASO race and has been for more than a decade

Not a chance

Well, the most random foreign GT start ever is official. It does still feel like they drew a random region out of a hat and then did the same for the stage hosts.

The MTF is the profile below until Panice Soprana (so minus the final 7 kilometres), same finish as in the 2002 Giro but without the steep Colletto del Moro backing directly into it. That stage had the first 29 riders within a minute of each other, so that tells you all about how much to expect of this easier version.

Stage 3 ends with roughly a kilometre at 5% (depending on where exactly in Ceres they finish, but it's a small town) after a lengthy false flat, it's the first ~10k of the profile below. The final kilometres were already used in the 2023 Giro Donne but that stage had 2600 metres of climbing packed into just over 100 kilometres, so not really comparable.

 

[Samamba]

Wth is this

 

[YavorD]

First 3 stages are horrible.
What can they possibly do in stage 4, suspected Susa-Grenoble?

 

[JReed27]

What can they possibly do in stage 4, suspected Susa-Grenoble?

I'd expect Montgenevre - Lautaret with a few hills south of grenoble before the finish (best option would be to go via the Col Du Luitel or Chamrousse)

The other option would be Mont Cenis - Grand Cucheron which could be followed with a flat run to grenoble or use the same hills as the Dauphine 2023 although that would lead to a stage that is probably too hard for a modern GT.

They could be crazy and add either the galibier or croix de fer but i doubt it.

They will probably finish on La Bastille because Vuelta

Given the possibilities of the region, this is pretty tragic

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Given the possibilities of the region, this is pretty tragic

...or even the possibilities of finishing in Limone Piemonte and Ceres. The former could have done with the aforementioned Moro or even continued all the way up to Colle di Tenda like in the 2005 Giro, the latter could have been a mid-mountain stage with the same final climb as the Giro Donne stage I referred to. I would have understood if that was an either/or situation, but to go for the single softest option for both stages is, to put it diplomatically, typical of Unipublic's usage of non-Pyrenean stages abroad.

Stage 6: Olot - Andorra (Port de Cabus). No info on stage route and intermediate climbs available.

Olot is pretty far from Andorra. So that probably means either a rather flat stage with at best one bigger climb like Gallina or Rabassa before Port de Cabus. Alternatively a more mountainous stage with gentle climbs like Envalira and Ordino.

 

[Mayomaniac]

No colletto del moro with it's rampas inhumanas for the Vuelta?

Was Guillen fired and Pescheux wheeled out of retirement?

 

[Rockestar_33]

Looks more sprinter friendly next year compared to this years. Looks like four or five genuine sprint stages at first glance. Also looks like a course suited to puncheurs if you don't have a genuine GC rider.

Four countries ridden through, Italy, France, Andorra and Spain by the looks of things unless I missed something.

 

[zlev11]

full route with all profiles: https://www.lavuelta.es/en/overall-route

imo it's mostly fine. cool to see Cerler and Bola del Mundo back after a long time. some of the weekend stages are a travesty but whatever. should be fun like always.

 

[ashhutch1997]

The Vuelta route being released a month before the Giro is jokes lol

 

[Tymek]

Every GT wants to start/end near Pogačar home in Monaco 😅

For me, it's really lacking that one true queen stage, like the 2023 Tourmalet stage. The queen stage seems to be the Angliru or Bola del Mundo stage but they don't feature climbs all over the stage.

And of course, the TT km. Was hoping the Valladolid TT had more kilometers.

 

[YavorD]

One sprint stage, love that 😍
It will be a great race.

Say 7 sprint stages.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So, to recap:

Sprint
Sprint of the elites
Uphill sprint
Uphill sprint/breakaway day
TTT on stage 5 for some reason
Middling unipuerto(ish) MTF #1
Middling unipuerto(ish) MTF #2
Sprint
The only MTF that's worse than Montevergine

Middling unipuerto(ish) MTF #3
Solid mid-mountain stage #1
Breakaway day
Angliru, yet again, at least since this kind of MTF kind of stopped delivering
Farrapona in the right spot for once but with no run-in to San Lorenzo
Sprint/breakaway day

Solid mid-mountain stage #2
Yet another unipuerto MTF
Meme-length sole TT
Sprint
The worst big MTF in the world for a final mountain stage
Parade

Also, where the *** are the hard mountain stages? What's supposed to be the queen stage here, Angliru with no climbs before the 55 kilometres?

Had the TTT been an ITT and had the Farrapona stage been beefed up into something resembling a queen stage, this would have been decent, but as it stands it is very poor indeed. Never seen this much quantity over quality in the mountain stages, which is saying something given that we're talking about the Vuelta.

 

[Tymek]

Sprint of the elites

It’s literally MTF.
