Just in case one Grand Tour wasn't enough for you, the Vuelta a España is nearly here, meaning you can watch it alongside the last week of the Giro d'Italia and pray your eyeballs don't pop out of your head.
Although it's been reduced to 18 days due to coronavirus complications, meaning we don't get the Utrecht start or the jaunt over the border to Portugal, there will still be a lot of racing action to get stuck into.
Chris Froome will line-up for his first Grand Tour since the 2018 Tour de France but is likely to be riding in support of Ineos team-mate Richard Carapaz.
The Ecuadorian will be looking to take another Grand Tour victory after his 2019 Giro win, but will face stiff competition from a Jumbo-Visma team out for revenge following their yellow jersey disappointment at the Tour de France.
Primož Roglič, Tom Dumoulin and Sepp Kuss all line-up in Spain, and will likely ride in support of the Slovenian, who is the defending champion, while Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) will also be looking to make up for his Tour performance, which was derailed by injury.
With the Vuelta heading up the Tourmalet in the first week, the Frenchman will be hoping to replicate his performance up the mythical climb on stage 14 of the 2019 French Grand Tour. The opening week also features a number of other days for the climbers that you won't want to miss.

How to live stream the Vuelta a España 2020 when you’re not in your country
Heading abroad during the race? Whether that be inside the UK or anywhere else, you may find access to your favourite home broadcaster is restricted by location. Luckily there is a way you can keep watching anyway – downloading and installing a VPN allows you to trick your computer into thinking it’s back at home. This allows you to watch your home broadcaster coverage without having to resort to an illegal stream, as long as you stick to the terms and conditions set out by the broadcaster.
Setting up a VPN is simple – just download, install, open the app and select your location.
Try out ExpressVPN for its speed, security and simplicity to use. We also like that it’s compatible with so many devices and streaming services (e.g. Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PS4, etc).
There are other great options out there of course, but Express VPN gives you the added benefit of a 30-day money back guarantee and three months free with a yearly plan.
