The Route for the 2024 Vuelta a España

How to watch the 2024 vuelta a españa, what happened last year, riders to watch at the 2024 vuelta a españa.

The season’s final grand tour, the Vuelta a España is always a bit of a “last-chance saloon” as riders often use the three-week Spanish stage race to try and redeem themselves for missed opportunities earlier in the season, build form for late-season races, and in some cases, earn contracts for the next year and beyond.

• Date : August 17th to September 8th
• Distance : 3,261km (2,022mi)
• Start location : Lisbon
• Finish location : Madrid

Stuck in the shadow of May’s Giro d’Italia and July’s Tour de France, we love how the Vuelta’s organizers always go to great lengths to design a spectacular course—usually one with lots and lots of climbs. In fact, there are so many climbing stages in this year’s race (eighteen, in fact) that the organizers had to create sub-categories just to describe them all: “hilly stages,” “hilly stages with uphill finishes,” “medium mountain stages,” and “mountain stages.” If you’re a sprinter, the Vuelta isn’t the race for you.

Starting a week earlier than it often does, this year’s begins on Saturday with Stage 1, a short time trial beginning in Lisbon, the first of three stages in Portugal. In all, this year’s Vuelta covers 3,261km (2,022mi) over 21 stages, including two individual time trials, ten stages with uphill or summit finishes (that’s not a typo), and a deep list of contenders that includes last year’s champion, the first American to win a grand tour in ten years.

Here’s everything you need to know:

Dates for the 2024 Vuelta a España

Saturday, August 17th to Sunday, September 8th

The 2024 Vuelta a España begins on Saturday in Lisbon, Portugal with a flat, 12km individual time trial to determine the first rider to pull on the red jersey as the leader of the Vuelta’s General Classification. The race stays in Portugal for the next two days with a stage for the puncheurs (Stage 2, ending in Ourém) and a stage that might be for the sprinters (Stage 3, ending in Castelo Branco).

Stage 4 brings the Vuelta back into Spain and ends with this year’s first summit finish, on the Category 1 climb to Pico Villuercas. Stage 5 brings the race south for a possible field sprint in Sevilla, before Stage 6 heads back into the hills with a jagged stage that starts inside a department store (we’re not kidding) and ends atop the Category 3 climb to Yunquera.

Stage 7 looks like another perfect day for a breakaway thanks to a rolling stage profile and a steep climb about 25km from the finish in Córdoba, a town in the southern region of Andalusia. Another breakaway could stay away on Stage 8, which finishes atop the Category 3 climb to Cazorla.

The first week ends on Sunday with Stage 9, a monster mountain stage containing three Category 1 climbs in the Sierra Nevada mountains before a stage finish down in Granada. The riders will be happy to see the Vuelta’s first Rest Day on Monday–but only after they make a long transfer to northern Spain.

The second week begins with Stage 10, another mountain stage–this one featuring four categorized climbs through the northern region of Galicia before a finish along the Atlantic coast in Baiona. Stage 11 is a tricky one. Starting and ending on a newly built technological campus in Padron, the stage features a challenging circuit that takes the riders over a Category 2 climb four times and the last ascent comes less than 10km from the finish of the stage.

The climbing continues as the second week concludes with four more mountain stages, three of which end with summit finishes. Stage 12 ends atop the Category 1 climb to the Estación de Montaña Manzaneda; Stage 13 ends on a new climb–the super-steep, Category 1 Puerto de Ancares; and Stage 14 doesn’t end with a climb, but it might as well: the finish in Villablino comes soon after the riders summit the Category 1 Puerto de Leitariegos.

But the final stage of the Vuelta’s second week–Stage 15–is the toughest of them all: a 142km stage through Asturias with a finish on the “Beyond Category” ascent to Ciutu Negru, a monster of a climb with pitches that hit 23%. It’s a ferocious end to a week already jammed with elevation gain. By the end of it, there might only be two or three riders still in contention to win the red jersey.

Coming out of the Vuelta’s second Rest Day, Stage 16 opens the third week just as Stage 15 ended the second: with a summit finish on a “Beyond Category” climb, this time on the climb to Lagos de Covadonga, an Asturian summit that’s making its 23rd Vuelta appearance this year. If any sprinters have made it to Stage 17, they’re in for a treat: a relatively “flat” stage that tackles two Category 2 climbs early in the day but has a flat finale into Santander in what will surely be their last chance to win a stage in this year’s race.

Stage 18 looks like a great day for a breakaway, with a punchy ride through the Basque Country that looks like a perfect chance for riders looking to test their form for the world championship road race in late-September. Stage 19 ends with another summit finish–on the Category 1 Alto de Moncalvillo–and by this point in the race a breakaway filled with out-of-contention climbers could be given the freedom it needs to win the stage while the GC contenders save themselves for the final climb–and the final weekend.

And they’ll need it, as the Vuelta’s final weekend begins with Stage 20, a stage traditionally reserved for the Vuelta’s final mountain showdown. This year’s penultimate stage is no different, with seven categorized climbs jammed into a 172km stage and a summit finish on the Category 1 Picón Blanco, a steep climb that’s making its second Vuelta appearance this year. And just in case Stage 20 doesn’t determine the winner of the 2024 Vuelta a España, Stage 21’s 22km individual time trial into Madrid certainly will.

American Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma) won the 2023 Vuelta a España, capping off a historic season in which Jumbo-Visma won all three of cycling’s grand tours. Even more incredible, Kuss was joined on the final podium by two of his teammates: Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard finished second overall, and Slovenia’s Primož Roglič finished third. In winning the race, Kuss became the first American to win a grand tour since Chris Horner won the Vuelta in 2013.

Kuss began expecting to support Vingegaard and Roglič, but he put himself in contention after winning Stage 6 from a breakaway that finished around 3 minutes ahead of the race’s main GC contenders. He took the red jersey two days later and then defended it all the way to Madrid.

But it wasn’t an easy victory, mainly due to the fact that Vingegaard and Roglič (who at times seemed to be racing against each other) had a hard time relinquishing leadership of the team to the American. Luckily, a team meeting in the third week seemed to set things straight, and Vingegaard and Roglič spent the rest of the race protecting Kuss’s advantage.

Other winners included Australia’s Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck), who won three stages and the Points competition; Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), who won three stages and the Vuelta’s King of the Mountains competition; and Spain’s Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates), who finished fourth overall and was the Vuelta’s Best Young Rider. Jumbo-Visma was the Vuelta’s best overall team, which is what happens when a team’s riders finish 1-2-3 on the GC.

Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike)

Kuss had a slow start to the season and then tested positive for COVID-19 just before the Tour de France–which forced him to skip the French grand tour. The time off must have been just what the doctor ordered though, because the American won the queen stage and the General Classification at last week’s Vuelta a Burgos, a race many riders often use as a pre-Vuelta dress rehearsal. While his win in last year’s race was a bit of a surprise, the 29–year-old looks ready to defend his title–even if being the defending champion means he won’t be given the same amount of freedom early in the race as he was given last year as a domestique.

Primož Roglič (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe)

Soon after last year’s Vuelta, it was announced that Roglič was transferring to the German team in the hopes of finally winning the Tour de France, the only grand tour still missing from his palmares. Unfortunately, this year’s Tour didn’t go well for the three-time Vuelta champion: he crashed near the end of Stage 12 and was unable to start Stage 13. After the Tour, the 34-year-old revealed that he had broken a bone in his lower back, an injury that could keep him out of the race. But if he starts, he’s still a threat to at least be a disrupter, perhaps winning a stage or two while building some form for one-day races later in the season.

João Almeida and Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates)

Almedia and Yates were Tadej Pogačar’s two strongest lieutenants at the Tour de France in July, finishing fourth and sixth overall. Now they get a chance to be co-leaders at the Vuelta, where the team hopes one or both of them will at worst finish on the podium. They’re fairly similar riders: Almeida has scored six top-10 grand tour finishes and Yates has scored seven–and they’ve each finished third in a grand tour once in their careers. Assuming they can manage their shared aspirations, they should provide the strongest one-two punch of any team in the race.

Thymen Arensman and Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers)

INEOS is sending its best GC riders to the Vuelta: Arensman, who finished sixth at the Giro d’Italia; and Rodríguez, who was seventh at the Tour de France. Both riders are hoping to challenge for a podium spot at the Spanish grand tour, which would be an important result for a team that’s been searching for its next bona fide grand tour contender for the past few seasons.

Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost)

After crashing out of the Tour de Suisse in June, Carapaz went to the Tour de France without the form he needed to challenge for a high GC finish. But he shifted his goals and still put in a fantastic performance, wearing the yellow jersey for a day, winning a stage, and taking home the polka dot jersey as the Tour’s King of the Mountains. Now he heads to the Vuelta where–with a full Tour in his legs–he’s likely shooting for a podium finish.

Other riders to watch include Colombia’s Daniel Martínez (BORA-hansgrohe), the runner-up at May’s Giro d’Italia; Australia’s Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team), who took fourth at the Giro; Italy’s Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain-Victorious), the Giro’s Best Young Rider and fifth-place overall finisher; Denmark’s Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), a promising stage racer who’s making his 2024 grand tour debut; and two Spaniards: Enric Mas (Movistar), a two-time Vuelta runner-up; and Mikel Landa (Soudal-Quick Step), who took fifth at last year’s Vuelta and fifth at the recent Tour de France.

And last but not least, three Americans are expected to join Kuss on the starting line in Lisbon: Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates), who’s a favorite to win the opening time trial and take the first red jersey; Matthew Riccitello (Israel-Premier Tech), who scored an impressive fifth-place finish at the Tour de Suisse; and Riley Sheehan, who’s making his grand tour debut at the Vuelta.

Tour De Simcha Riders Go The Extra Mile for Children of Chai Lifeline

The Tour de France may be making international headlines, but another cycling event took place much closer to home on Tuesday, July 16. One hundred and sixty women decked out in sporty black and bright pink uniforms took part in the annual Tour de Simcha, an all-female cycling event that raises funds benefitting Chai Lifeline, the international health network supporting children and families living with life-threatening and lifelong illnesses.

Tour de Simcha, now in its eighth year, kicked off Monday evening in Woodbridge, New Jersey, where a pre-ride pasta party was held featuring lively music and inspiring speeches from Chai Lifeline clients. The following morning, riders were allowed to choose between a 100-mile century ride as well as other distance and route options leading to Camp Simcha Special, Chai Lifeline’s flagship summer program for children with chronic illnesses and disabilities in Glen Spey, New York.

Participants battled the heat and were pushed on by energetic volunteers who cheered on the riders at various rest stops along their route. As the riders crossed the “World’s Greatest Finish Line,” the entrance to Camp Simcha, they were greeted by throngs of campers and staff, as well as their family and friends. The event culminated with an awards ceremony, honoring the riders for their support and commitment to Chai Lifeline.

While the riders enjoyed the physical challenge, they all participated in a variety of reasons.

Rachel Leff, a marketing professional and Atlanta native currently living in Manhattan, is a veteran cyclist and first-time participant in Tour de Simcha.

“After I trained for the 5 Borough Bike Tour in New York City I didn’t want to stop there,” said Leff. “So I found a ride with a cause that matters to me. I’m a respite volunteer with Chai Lifeline and seeing the struggles of what the kids and parents go through made me want to dedicate myself to training and fundraising for this incredible ride. I’m excited and nervous but the important part is that I reached my fundraising goal so no matter how far I go my dollars are doing the real work.”

Sarah Russell from Englewood, New Jersey, is also a first-time Tour de Simcha rider.

“I signed up for the ride before I knew I was pregnant,” said Russell, a mother of two and a jewelry business analyst. “When I found out I was expecting, I was determined not to back out because I believed that there was no better time to do Tour de Simcha than now. I am blessed to have two healthy children and another one on the way, but there are people in my life who have been sick or have children who are sick. It’s important to give back to the community and show you’re there for them.” Russell dedicated her ride to the recovery of Sarah Naomi, a 14-year old Camp Simcha camper.

Roni Selig of Manhattan is a triathlete, TV producer and mother of two. Selig, who had recently returned from a cycling tournament in Iceland, served as one of the marshals of Tour de Simcha.

“In their everyday lives all these children see are nurses and doctors,” said Selig. “They stare at the walls of the hospital, they’ve got tubes and needles inserted in their bodies and they undergo all these scary tests. They are surrounded by grownups all day. So for them to be able to come to a camp where they can see their peers who have gone through similar experiences, where they can jump and play and experience joy, that is the best medicine.”

“The dedication of our Tour de Simcha riders is inspiring,” said Mindy Tyner, director of Tour De Simcha. “In addition to accomplishing a phenomenal athletic feat, their devotion to ‘go the extra mile’ by fundraising for Chai Lifeline and spreading its message of hope, impacts countless lives.”

Vuelta a España 2024 preview: Full schedule and how to watch men's cycling Grand Tour race live

Discover the key things you need to know about this year's edition of the men's cycling Grand Tour stage race around Spain and the Iberian Peninsula, which starts on 17 August in Lisbon, Portugal.

The UCI World Tour road cycling stage race season kicks back into full swing this weekend after a break for the Olympic Games with the third and final Grand Tour of the men's season: the 79th Vuelta ciclista a España , the Tour of Spain .

This year, it runs from Saturday 17 August through to Sunday 8 September, and will cover over 3,300km (over 2,050 miles) of racing across 21 stages in southern Europe's Iberian Peninsula. The race begins in Lisbon, Portugal , the second time the Spanish stage race has begun in its neighbour after it hosted La Vuelta's first ever international start in 1997, and ends as is traditional in the Spanish capital Madrid .

Of the 21 stages, two are individual time trials, eight are classed as high mountain stages, five as medium mountain stages, five as hilly or uneven stages, and just one as a flat stage.

Sepp Kuss of the USA (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) is the defending champion and returns to lead of his team, looking to become a repeat winner of the race. The three-time champion Primoz Roglic of Slovenia, who won for Visma from 2020 through 2022, is also in the race for Bora-Hansgrohe .

A total of 176 riders from 22 teams will take to the start line in Lisbon on Saturday aiming to make it to the finish line in Madrid. This is what you need to know about this year's La Vuelta.

Vuelta a España 2024 riders to watch

Aside from both Kuss and Roglic, who between them have won four of the last five Vuelta general classifications (GC), there are some strong contenders on other teams, including from home Spanish riders.

INEOS Grenadiers are handing the race leadership to home hope Carlos Rodríguez , while his compatriots Mikel Landa (Soudal - Quick-Step) and Enric Mas (Movistar Team) will also be expected to do well.

It remains to be seen whether Movistar opt for a dual-pronged strategy, with 2016 winner Nairo Quintana of Colombia back in their team. The same can be said of UAE Team Emirates, who have two bona-fide leaders in Adam Yates of Great Britain and João Almeida , who will want to do well on his three home stages in Portugal.

Other GC hopefuls include Damiano Caruso (Bahrain-Victorious), Guillaume Martin (Cofidis), Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), Tokyo 2020 Olympic road race champion Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), and Tao Geoghegan Hart (Lidl-Trek).

However, neither the Paris 2024 Olympic road race and time trial champion Remco Evenepoel nor Giro d'Italia and Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar are racing.

Key stages of the 2024 Vuelta a España

With just one flat road race stage included in this year's Vuelta parcours, the peloton has a lot of climbing ahead of it over the 21 stages.

Four districts of Portugal and 20 provinces of Spain in nine autonomous communities will play host to the race, which has a total of nine uphill finishes at altitude.

Many of these finishes are well-known in the recent history of the race: the Alto de Moncalvillo, which welcomes the end of Stage 19, made its debut in 2020 on a stage won by eventual champion Roglic; on the very next stage this year the race will end on the Picón Blanco, which made its first Vuelta appearance in 2021.

Other climbs, meanwhile, such as the Lagos de Covadonga, have formed part of many stages in the tour's past – although, for the first time this year, a stage will end on the majestic climb, which sees ramps of up to 16 per cent in gradient.

The nine stages with hilltop or mountaintop finishes are:

• Stage 4, ending on the Pico Villuercas at 1550m altitude, with an ascent of 14.6km at an average gradient of 6.2 per cent and maximum climbs of 20 per cent;
• Stage 6, ending in Yunquera on the Alto de las Abejas at 728m altitude, with an ascent of 8.9km at an average gradient of 3.9 per cent;
• Stage 8, ending on the Sierra de Cazorla at 1056m altitude, with an ascent of 4.8km at an average gradient of 7.1 per cent and maximum climbs of 20 per cent;
• Stage 12, ending at the Estación de Montaña de Manzaneda at 1488m altitude, with an ascent of 15.4km at an average gradient of 4.7 per cent;
• Stage 13, ending on the Puerto de Ancares at 973m altitude, with an ascent of 7.5km at an average gradient of 9.3 per cent and maximum climbs of 15 per cent;
• Stage 15, ending on the Cuitu Negru at 1847m altitude, with an ascent of 18.9km at an average gradient of 7.4 per cent and maximum climbs of 24 per cent;
• Stage 16, ending at the Lagos de Covadonga at 1069m altitude, with an ascent of 12.5km at an average gradient of 6.9 per cent and maximum climbs of 16 per cent;
• Stage 19, ending on the Alto de Moncalvillo at 1491m altitude, with an ascent of 8.6km at an average gradient of 8.9 per cent and maximum climbs of 16 per cent; and
• Stage 20, ending on the Picón Blanco at 1498m altitude, with an ascent of 7.9km at an average gradient of 9.1 per cent and maximum climbs of 18 per cent.

With just a single truly flat stage, this race is not one for the pure sprinters. There is no team time trial on the race this year, and unlike many recent years where the final stage has been a procession into Madrid, the 2024 Vuelta a España ends with an individual time trial , allowing for late changes to the GC standings.

Tour de Simchai

The road to wellness rolls along with bike4chai and tour de simcha.

Original Article Published On The JNS

“Without Chai Lifeline and everything they’ve done for me and my family, I don’t know how I would’ve pulled through,” says cancer survivor Pessy Zeiger, 19, of Monsey, N.Y., who plans to bike the 65- to 70-mile route starting and ending off at Camp Simcha, which she refers to as “the happiest place on earth!”

Tour de France, meet the Tour de Simcha and Bike4Chai.

While the 23-day, 2,000-mile Tour de France is an impressive ride geared to the world’s most elite riders,  Bike4Chai  (for men, July 29) and the  Tour de Simcha  (Aug. 5), in support of Chai Lifeline, is open to everyone, and each year brings smiles to the faces of riders, spectators, and especially, children and families dealing with serious illness.

Chai Lifeline  is an international children’s health support network that provides assistance and year-round services to thousands of families confronting illness, crisis and loss.

She is pleased that she can participate in the  bike ride  and give back to an organization that was helpful to her and her family.

“I was always athletic and loved riding, but was never majorly into it,” she recounts. “Then I got cancer and was unable to get on a bike for five years. Now that I was part of Chai Lifeline, I heard so much about Tour de Simcha and wanted to do it so badly, but was unable to at that point. Two summers ago, I got invited to share my story at the TDS pasta party the night before the ride, and I made it my goal to join the ride as soon as I would be able to. Now, after four years of intense physical therapy, my muscles in my leg are strong enough, and I’m able to bend my knee enough to get on a bike. I’ve been training for the past few months and am really looking forward to riding!”

Zeiger is still closely connected to the Chai Lifeline family, which she says “got me to meet new friends going through the same situation I was in. We laugh together and share in each other’s triumphs. To this day, these are my closest friends. All the events and things they do throughout the year give me the strength to keep fighting!”

Pessy will be joined by her father, Mendy Zeiger. He reports that he rides for his health, usually training in Harriman State Park. He then shares how he and his family have personally benefitted from the organization.

“Chai Lifeline is a wonderful organization. I knew about it before and have been riding in their rides since 2012. This year is my seventh or eighth ride. Every year, when they put a child (who had benefited from Chai Lifeline’s kindness) on the dais at the pre-ride pasta loading, it was a tear-jerker. They were real children undergoing suffering. Now, it has a whole different meaning.”

To date, Pessy has raised $5,000 from 66 donors. (Her story can be  read here .)

Mendy Zeiger can’t imagine what it would have been like going through his daughter’s cancer treatment without Chai Lifeline. “The hospital stay would have been miserable [otherwise]. They refer you to the top doctors. They have knowledge of what it takes to have a child in the hospital. They offer food, volunteers, guidance, help with insurance, and they understand the amount of work it takes and the logistics required for parents. There are so many pieces … .”

He notes playfully that Pessy is a “much faster” cyclist, and they won’t be riding together so he “won’t hold her back.”

‘To exercise and to raise tzedakah’

Rider Avi Lazarus of Spring Valley, N.Y., retired last year from a career in the retails sales industry. He was quick to mention that he is not the oldest rider, as had been circulated. “I’m not the oldest guy, though I have been in the past,” he reports.

Lazarus says “I ride for a dual purpose—to exercise and to raise  tzedakah  for a wonderful organization. How can you turn them down?”

He rides with his two sons. “They make sure their old man is OK. They give me the incentive to go on—they fill my bottles for me!” In addition to enjoying being with them, he adds, “I have made a lot of friends” along the way.

Bike4Chai kicks off with an opening ceremony on July 28. The 100-mile route will begin in the early hours of July 29 with participants stopping mid-ride for at Camp Simcha (Chai Lifeline’s overnight summer-camp program for children and teens with life-threatening and lifelong illnesses), where they will receive physical and spiritual rejuvenation.

Tour de Simcha kicks off on the morning of Aug. 5 at Camp Simcha with what organizers refer to as “The World’s Greatest Start Line.” The 38- and 65-mile routes also end at Camp Simcha at “The World’s Greatest Finish Line.”

The races raise millions of dollars each year for Chai Lifeline.

According to Yoel Margolese, director of Bike4Chai, this year’s race “will feature a record number of participants all with one common goal—to be there for children and families. The dedication and commitment of our riders is inspiring and shows our families that they are not alone.”

Rabbi Simcha Scholar, CEO of Chai Lifeline, adds that “riders and their supporters play a critical role in raising funds and awareness for Chai Lifeline’s important work. Every dollar raised enables us to provide year-round support and services to thousands of families confronting illness, crisis and loss, all at no cost to them.”

While all riders and donors come out in support of this important cause, some riders and teams go out of their way to maintain a lighter, more playful spirit. The  Knight Riders , comprised of 14 participants, have already raised an impressive $91,248 from 545 donors. The legendary team proudly comes in last every year and includes a four-time cancer survivor amputee who rides a hand bike, a teenager with cerebral palsy, an Ironman competitor who serves as the team motivator, an artist and an army chaplain.
