The 2020 Ruta del Sol will be live on TV for all five stages, with Eurosport providing live coverage of the early season Spanish stage race, with highlights on each evening.
Each stage of the Ruta del Sol will finish at around 16:45 local time (15:45 UK time) with coverage starting around an hour or an hour and a half before, depending on the stage. Extended coverage will also be shown on the Eurosport Player.
The Ruta del Sol start list for 2020 is headlined by defending champion Jakob Fuglsang (Astana), who will face competition from the likes of Mikel Landa (Bahrain-McLaren) and Movistar's Marc Soler and Enric Mas, if he is to retain the overall title.
The 2020 edition of the race, which is also known as the Vuelta a
cia, covers five stages, includes a number of category one climbs throughout the week to test the climbers’ early-season legs, and culminates in an individual time trial on the final day.
