The 2022 Vuelta a España route departs from the Dutch city of Utrecht, with the first three stages starting and finishing in the Netherlands. After a rest day, the race resumes in Spain's Basque Country, with a series of short but brutal climbs. The first week closes out with back-to-back summit finishes (stages 8 and 9) before heading to Alicante for an individual time trial (stage 10). As the riders continue to venture through Spain, expect more opportunities for the sprinters, followed by a duo of baking-hot climbs in Extremadura (stages 17 and 18) with the potential for attack. The 2022 Vuelta a España comes to a thrilling close with finale in Madrid on 11th September.
It's now been confirmed that last year's winner, Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma), who was injured in July's Tour de France, will defend his title. He'll be up against the world's best riders including Belgian time trial wizard specialist Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl). He's in a stunning form right now – but we can't discount the likes of Australian Giro d'Italia winner Jai Hindley (BORA-Hansgrohe), not to mention Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), who'll be competing in his final Grand Tour.
Fans in Australia can watch all 21 stages of the Vuelta a España free on SBS On Demand. Make sure you know how to watch a free Vuelta a España live stream from where you are.
