La Vuelta ciclista a España (Tour of Spain in English), also known as La Vuelta is a stage cycling race created in 1935 by the newspaper Informaciones following the successes of the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia, both created by newspapers (L’Auto and La Gazzetta dello Sport)
Considered as the third most important cycling race in the world, La Vuelta is part of the Grand Tours trio with the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia. Like them, La Vuelta introduced a leader’s jersey with a special colour, red.
A third departure from abroad, in the Netherlands to finish the Grand Tours in style!
It is from the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands that the 2022 Vuelta will start! A Vuelta with a very mountainous course, with high altitude finishes at Pico Jano, Colláu Fancuaya, Les Praeres, Peñas Blancas, Sierra de La Pandera, Sierra Nevada, Monastery of Tentudia, Alto del Piornal and Puerto de Navacerrada.
