Vuelta a Espana 2009

The 2009 Vuelta a España was the 64th Vuelta a España. The event took place from 29 August to 20 September 2009. For only the second time in the race’s history, it began away from Spanish soil, with the race not in fact reaching Spain until Stage 5.

The 2009 Vuelta has been described as having an easy start and a hard finish. This is because of the short individual time trial and three perfectly flat stages in the Netherlands (along with another in Spain in the race’s first week), and eight of the final fourteen stages being mountain stages, with four mountaintop finishes.

The race was won by Spain’s Alejandro Valverde who claimed his first grand tour victory.
