Don't expect it, it would have been announced before now. The 2017 Vuelta starting in Nîmes has been known about for months and there hasn't been much to suggest any changes to that, especially now stage 3 ending in Andorra is confirmed. Next year is more likely as it would be odd to have stages there in 2019 just a few weeks before the Worlds even if we do see stages on upcoming Worlds circuits from time to time (2014 Spanish nationals in Ponferrada, 2008 Giro stage from Mendrisio to Varese) - the proximity on the calendar would seem to make that unlikely. 2020 itself would seem more logical tbh because two overseas starts in a row would be unprecedented for the Vuelta.
Considering the story about a south coast bid for the Tour being unsupported by BC because of some vague concept of unreasonableness, this "Yorkshire gets everything" schtick is getting a bit jaded now. Clearly the UCI and the race organizers are in the business of business, and striking while the iron is hot in the UK clearly makes sense in much the same way as we saw a glut of German teams and races in the 90s and early 00s until the bottom fell out due to the doping scandals. And when it comes to Yorkshire, there's a lot of great opportunities to produce good racing in the region, at least (Guillén is totally having a HTF at Sutton Bank, isn't he... at least unless he can figure out a way to make a Rosedale Chimney Bank HTF achievable)... but it's interesting that all of it seems to be focused entirely around one region. They have their own race plus regularly at least one stage of the Tour of Britain, the Tour, the Worlds and now the Vuelta, yet bids by other parts of the UK are being cast aside, which reeks of nepotism to me.
(unless it's easy, in which case Guillen is a disgrace to cycling (well, he is pretty much anyway)).
