The Vuelta a España 2025, the 80th edition of the race, will be the final Grand Tour of the season, with the race following the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France in the WorldTour calendar.
The route for the 2025 edition looks tailor-made for Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), who hasn't ridden the race since making his Grand Tour debut there in 2019. Meanwhile, four-time Vuelta winner Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) has ruled out a tilt at a record-breaking fifth title, instead targeting the Giro d'Italia.
