Pogacar Is Out - Vuelta 2025 Wide Open

There are only a few major events left on the 2025 international cycling calendar, and the biggest is the Vuelta a España, the third Grand Tour of the season. 

The Giro d’Italia and Tour de France certainly didn’t disappoint, with Simon Yates and Tadej Pogacar winning, respectively, but neither is expected to be at La Vuelta, which will be held Aug. 23 through Sept. 14.

Last year’s champion, four-time winner Primoz Roglic, also isn’t on the initial entry list, so that means the opportunity is there for someone new to steal the spotlight in 2025. 

This year’s edition of La Vuelta will take a field of approximately 180 riders on a 21-stage journey through four countries – Italy, France, Andorra and Spain – during which, they’ll experience a variety of challenging terrain over the 3,151 kilometers. 

The race will begin Aug. 23 in northern Italy’s Turin and conclude Sept. 14 in Madrid. 

Here’s a look at the complete schedule:

The schedule includes 21 stages and two rest days (Sept. 1 and Sept. 8).

Who Won The Vuelta A España In 2024?

Slovenia’s Primoz Roglic won the Vuelta a España in 2024 for a record-equaling fourth career victory at the storied race.

The former ski jumper has been plagued by crashes and injuries, including two significant ones in 2024, but he continues to persevere and managed to land himself among the year’s most memorable moments with wins at the 2024 Critérium du Dauphiné and La Vuelta.

Roglic, who won the Vuelta a España in 2019, 2020 and 2021, joined Spain’s Roberto Heras as the event’s only four-time champions (2000, 2003, 2004, 2005) and made it a clean sweep for Slovenia in the Grand Tours in 2024, with Pogacar winning the Giro and TDF.
