Vuelta a Espana 2019: Key information
Dates: Saturday 24th August to Sunday 15th September
Grand Départ: Alicante, Spain
Finale: Madrid, Spain
Countries visited: Andorra, Spain, France
UK television coverage: ITV4, Eurosport
The 2019 Vuelta a Espana will include a wave of new climbs with five new uphill finishes, a detour into France and Andorra and yet another sub-100km mountain stage.
In total, the peloton will contest eight uphill finishes, one individual time trial and a race-starting team time trial.
The full route was announced on Wednesday evening in Alicante where the race will begin next August with a pan-flat 18km team time trial from Salinas de Torrevieja to Torrevieja.
The first mountain stage comes as early as Stage 5, with a lumpy 165.6km route that finishes at the summit of the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre.
Stage 7 will see Vuelta head to another of its goat track climbs with a finish atop the Mas de la Costa, 4km at 12.5%.
Two days later the race heads for a fiery encounter as Stage 9 will compact five categorised climbs within 97km, including the new climb of Coll d’Engolasters with only 4km of flat terrain during the entire stage. The climb then also returns to the insidiously steep Los Machucos climb that featured in 2017.
The race will traverse the tricky terrain of the Basque, Navarra and Austurias regions before a final week in central Spain.
Stage 18 through the Guadaramma Mountains will ring familiar to many. The race will tackle La Morcuera, one of the climbs that derailed Tom Dumoulin's Vuelta bid back in 2015.
Any rider in with a shot on the penultimate day will be looking forward to Stage 20 with five mountain passes across 190km.
As is now tradition, the final day of the Vuelta will be nothing but a procession with a flat race around the Spanish capital of Madrid.
In terms of who will be competing in next year's race, little is know. We know that Movistar duo Alejandro Valverde and Nairo Quintana are down to start while Team Jumbo's Steven Kruijswijk also harbours Spanish ambitions.
Team Sky's Chris Froome tends to be tempted by the Iberian peninsula too and with Sky withdrawing from cycling shortly after, one last Grand Tour could be the perfect departing gift.

The 2018 Vuelta a Espana is now under way after it started on this Saturday 25th August. Already some of the favourites have found themselves losing enough time to be out of the running, opening up the possibility of a surprise winner when the race ends after three weeks.
Riders will be in for a tough time if they hope to reach Madrid with the red jersey. The first summit finish of the race comes as early as Stage 4 and that was after a lower altitude hilltop finish on Stage 2, won by Alejandro Valverde (Movistar).
Stage 15 will be one to put in the diary with its finish atop the Lagos de Covadonga. When the race last visited in 2016, Valverde's teammate Nairo Quintana took the red jersey by winning the stage and then held it all the way until Madrid.
Any last gasp bids to take the red jersey into Madrid will undoubtedly be taken on Stage 20, a short 105km stage through Andorra that tackles no less than six categorised climbs.
Throughout the season we will bring you all the latest on the year's final Grand Tour, updating this guide as more information becomes available.

It's hard to suggest who might enter the 2018 Vuelta a Espana until the Tour de France finishes as plans can change as the season goes on.
Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana), Fabio Aru (UAE-Team Emirates) and Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) are all set to race the Vuelta having tackled the Giro d'Italia back in May.
Current Vuelta a Espana champion Chris Froome took a maiden Giro d'Italia title in May before tackling the Tour de France in July. To target a third Grand Tour in one season seems impossible but you wouldn't put it past him.
It is looking increasingly likely Movistar will take Nairo Quintana, Mikel Landa and Alejandro Valverde to the Vuelta a Espana after they race the Tour.
The trio is sturggled at the Tour but could fair better in the more unpredictable landscape of the Vuelta. It is likely Valverde will be preparing himself for the World Championships later in the month so expect him to be on good form.
Whoever takes the start, the route should guarantee three gruelling weeks for the riders and some great vieweing for us fans.

Vuelta a Espana 2017
The 2017 Vuelta a Espana route has been confirmed and will feature eight summit finishes, including an ascent of the Angliru on the penultimate stage.
The route, which appeared in advance in the Spanish media, was confirmed at the official presentation.
The stage start and finish locations that were leaked gave an accurate idea of where the Spanish Grand Tour will go, including the summit finish atop the Alto de l'Angliru on Stage 20.
The 2017 Vuelta a Espana startlist has not been fully confirmed, but some riders have already stated that they will be taking part.
With his fourth Tour de France title in the bag, Chris Froome (Team Sky) will take the start of the 2017 Vuelta a Espana as he seeks a win in Spain.
He's previously come fourth once and second three times at the Vuelta, and a different approach to this season could seem him peak in September to take the Tour-Vuelta double.
Giro d'Italia winner Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) has ruled himself out of the race, so the showdown between those two will have to wait for another race, perhaps the 2018 Tour de France.
Vuelta a Espana 2017: Key information
Dates: Saturday 19th August to Sunday 10th September
Grand Départ: Nimes, France
Finale: Madrid, Spain
Countries visited: France, Andorra, Spain
UK television coverage: ITV4, Eurosport
Vuelta a Espana 2017: Route
The 2017 Vuelta a Espana will start in Nimes, France with a team time trial on Saturday 19th August.
The following three stage starts will also be outside of Spain, with a southerly transitional stage from Nimes to Gruissan, a ride from Prades over the border into Spain before finishing in Andorra, where stage four will begin.
The inclusion of Andorra and the passage through the Pyrenees looks set to make the first week of the route of the 2017 Vuelta a Espana one for the climbers and could shake-up the overall general classification early on.
The Vuelta route was expected to have nine summit finishes, evenly spread throughout the three week Grand Tour with three per week, but the end of stage eight is comes after a two kilometre descent off the Alto Xorret de Cati.
The first summit finish comes on stage five up to the Hermitage of Santa Lucia after 173.4km. The next two summit finish comes on stage nine with the climb up the Cumbre del Sol.
If Vincenzo Nibali, or a rider of similar descending ability, opts to ride the 2017 Vuelta a Espana then the climb into fast descent at the end of stage eight could see him in the leader's jersey during the first rest day.
This first rest day follows the double header of mountainous days, so expect to see the GC contenders coming to the front on the final slopes of stage nine as they look to go into the rest day with the lead.
The race makes its way around the east and south of Spain from stage five to 15 before the second rest day allows the riders to relocate to the north to restart battle on stage 16.
Before that, though, there are the next three summit finishes to contend with. Stage 11 takes riders up to Calar Alto and stages 14 and 15 are another back-to-back pairing of summit finishes.
Stage 14 finishes atop La Pandera before stage 15 could see the leader’s jersey change hands on the slopes of Sierra Nevada.
Different riders cope differently with rest days, and with a time trial immediately after on stage 16 some of those who have already expended too much energy in the first two weeks could be found out.
What’s more, the time trial marks the start of a brutal week as it is followed by consecutive summit finishes on stage 17 to Los Machucos and on stage 18 to Santo Torbio de Liebana.
There could be a slight lull in hostilities on stage 19 before the Angliru looms large on stage 20.
The race may have been wrapped up long before this stage, but any rider within two minutes of the lead could still challenge for the overall as the testing slopes of this famous climb can crack even the most accomplished Grand Tour riders.
Whoever’s in the overall lead at the end of stage 20 will win the 2017 Vuelta a Espana as the race performs its ceremonial finish into Madrid.
The final stage will offer something to any sprinters who managed to nurse themselves through that very testing final week.
