The final Grand Tour of the season arrives on Saturday August 23 with the Vuelta a España and that also means the long road from Turin to Madrid offers a last chance in 2025 to claim the revered place of a champion of one of the prestigious three-week races.
The battle will play out on the tricky and brutal Spanish climbs, with the iconic Angliru as the showpiece in a race which will bring some of the very best climbers in the world to the fore.
