La Vuelta

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.
