The 2017 Vuelta a España was a three-week Grand Tour cycling stage race that took place in Spain between 19 August and 10 September 2017. The race was the 72nd edition of the Vuelta a España and the final Grand Tour of the 2017 cycling season. The race started in Nîmes, France, and finished in Madrid. It was the first time the race has started in France and only the third time it has started outside Spain, after 1997 (Portugal) and 2009 (Netherlands). The general classification was won by 2017 Tour de France champion Chris Froome from Team Sky, ahead of Vincenzo Nibali of Bahrain–Merida. Froome became the third rider to win the Tour-Vuelta double after Jacques Anquetil (1963) and Bernard Hinault (1978), and the first to do so since the Vuelta was moved to its current calendar position. Froome also won the points and combination classifications, becoming the first rider to win three jerseys in a single Vuelta since Denis Menchov in 2007. The mountains classification was won by Cannondale–Drapac rider Davide Villella, while Trek–Segafredo’s Alberto Contador won the combativity award in his final Grand Tour, as well as the final mountain stage atop the iconic Angliru. Astana took the team award. 2017 Vuelta a España 2017 UCI World Tour, race 30 of 37 Race details Dates 19 August – 10 September Distance 3,324.1 km (2,065 mi) Winning time 82h 30′ 02″ Results Winner

The 2015 Vuelta a España was a three-week Grand Tour cycling race. The race was the 70th edition of the Vuelta a España and took place principally in Spain, although two stages took place partly or wholly in Andorra, and was the 22nd race in the 2015 UCI World Tour. The 3,358.1-kilometre (2,086.6 mi) race included 21 stages, beginning in Marbella on 22 August 2015 and finishing in Madrid on 13 September. It was won by Fabio Aru (Astana Pro Team), with Joaquim Rodríguez (Team Katusha) second and Rafał Majka (Tinkoff–Saxo) third. The early leaders of the race were Esteban Chaves (Orica–GreenEDGE) and Tom Dumoulin (Team Giant–Alpecin), who exchanged the leader’s red jersey several times during the first ten days of racing, with both riders winning summit finishes in the first week. Aru took over the race lead following the mountainous Stage 11, which took place entirely within Andorra. He kept his lead for five stages as the race entered the mountains of northern Spain, but lost it to Rodríguez on Stage 16. Dumoulin took the lead back on Stage 17 – the race’s only individual time trial – with Aru three seconds behind in second place. Aru attacked throughout the final stages and, on the penultimate day, finally dropped Dumoulin, who fell to sixth place overall. Aru therefore took the first Grand Tour victory of his career. The points classification was decided during the final stage and was won by Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team), while Rodriguez won the combination classification. The mountains classification was won by Omar Fraile (Caja Rural–Seguros RGA). Dumoulin won the combativity award, while Movistar won the team prize. 2015 Vuelta a España 2015 UCI World Tour, race 22 of 28 Map of the 2015 Vuelta a España route, from Marbella to Madrid.

The 2014 Vuelta a España took place between 23 August and 14 September 2014 and was the 69th edition of the race. It featured eight mountain stages, five hill stages, five flat stages, and three time trials (one team and two individual), two of which appeared at the beginning and end of the race. Jerez de la Frontera, on the Spanish south coast, hosted the opening stage. The Vuelta then went counterclockwise, through the south-east and east of the country before crossing the north and finishing in Santiago de Compostela. This was the first time in 21 years that the race has finished outside Madrid. The race was won for the third time by Spanish rider, Alberto Contador, of Tinkoff–Saxo. Contador went into the race uncertain of his form after crashing out of the Tour on the 10th stage, breaking his tibia. However, Contador found his form in the race earlier than expected, taking the red jersey on the 10th stage individual time trial and taking two key mountain stage wins on his way to victory. He won the race by 1′ 10″” over runner-up, Chris Froome of Team Sky. Like Contador, Froome also went into the race uncertain of his form after he crashed three times in two days during the Tour, leading to his withdrawal. However, Froome came to life during the third week, finishing second in three key mountain stages and taking time to move into second place overall. Spanish rider Alejandro Valverde of the Movistar Team completed the podium, finishing 40 seconds behind Froome and 1 minute and 50 seconds behind Contador. Valverde also took the sixth stage of the race going to La Zubia, the race’s first mountain stage. In the race’s other classifications, John Degenkolb of Giant–Shimano won the green jersey for the points classification. Degenkolb took four stage wins, the most by any rider in the race. The blue polka-dot jersey for the mountains classification was taken by Spaniard Luis Leon Sanchez of Caja Rural–Seguros RGA. Aside from taking the red jersey, Contador also won the white jersey for the combination classification. He took the first place in the general classification, third place in the points classification and second place in the mountains classification. Team Katusha took the team classification for accumulating the lowest time from their three best cyclists. 2014 Vuelta a España 2014 UCI World Tour, race 22 of 29 Race details Dates 23 August – 14 September Stages 21 Distance 3,181.5 km (1,977 mi) Winning time 81h 25′ 05″ Results Winner Alberto Contador (ESP) (Tinkoff–Saxo) Second Chris Froome (GBR) (Team Sky) Third Alejandro Valverde (ESP) (Movistar Team) Points John Degenkolb (GER) (Giant–Shimano) Mountains Luis León Sánchez (ESP) (Caja Rural–Seguros RGA) Combination Alberto Contador (ESP) (Tinkoff–Saxo) Team Team Katusha ← 2013 2015 → Teams Ag2r–La Mondiale Astana Belkin Pro Cycling BMC Racing Team Cannondale Caja Rural–Seguros RGA† Cofidis† FDJ.fr Giant–Shimano Garmin–Sharp IAM Cycling† Lampre–Merida Lotto–Belisol Movistar Team MTN–Qhubeka† Omega Pharma–Quick-Step Orica–GreenEDGE Team Europcar Team Katusha Team Sky Tinkoff–Saxo Trek Factory Racing Route and stages Stage results and characteristics Stage Date Course Distance Type10 Winner 1 23 August Jerez de la Frontera 12.6 km (7.8 mi) Team time trial Movistar Team 2 24 August Algeciras – San Fernando 174.4 km (108.4 mi) Flat stage Nacer Bouhanni (FRA) 3 25 August Cádiz – Arcos de la Frontera 197.8 km (122.9 mi) Hilly stage Michael Matthews (AUS) 4 26 August Mairena del Alcor – Córdoba 164.7 km (102.3 mi) Medium-mountain stage John Degenkolb (GER) 5 27 August Priego de Córdoba – Ronda 180 km (110 mi) Flat stage John Degenkolb (GER) 6 28 August Benalmádena – Cumbres Verdes, La Zubia 167.1 km (103.8 mi) Mountain stage Alejandro Valverde (ESP) 7 29 August Alhendín – Alcaudete 169 km (105 mi) Hilly stage Alessandro De Marchi (ITA) 8 30 August Baeza – Albacete 207 km (129 mi) Flat stage Nacer Bouhanni (FRA) 9 31 August Carboneras de Guadazaón – Aramón Valdelinares 185 km (115 mi) Mountain stage Winner Anacona (COL) 1 September Rest day 10 2 September Monasterio de Santa María de Veruela – Borja 36.7 km (22.8 mi) Individual time trial Tony Martin (GER) 11 3 September Pamplona – Santuario de San Miguel de Aralar 153.4 km (95.3 mi) Mountain stage Fabio Aru (ITA) 12 4 September Logroño – Logroño 166.4 km (103.4 mi) Flat stage John Degenkolb (GER) 13 5 September Belorado – Obregón, Parque de Cabárceno 188.7 km (117.3 mi) Medium-mountain stage Daniel Navarro (ESP) 14 6 September Santander – La Camperona, Valle de Sábero 200.8 km (124.8 mi) Mountain stage Ryder Hesjedal (CAN) 15 7 September Oviedo – Lagos de Covadonga 152.2 km (94.6 mi) Mountain stage Przemysław Niemiec (POL) 16 8 September San Martín del Rey Aurelio – La Farrapona, Lagos de Somiedo 160.5 km (99.7 mi) Mountain stage Alberto Contador (ESP) 9 September Rest day 17 10 September Ortigueira – A Coruña 190.7 km (118.5 mi) Flat stage John Degenkolb (GER) 18 11 September A Estrada – Mont Castrove, Meis 157 km (98 mi) Medium-mountain stage Fabio Aru (ITA) 19 12 September Salvaterra de Miño – Cangas do Morrazo 180.5 km (112.2 mi) Medium-mountain stage Adam Hansen (AUS) 20 13 September Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil – Puerto de Ancares 185.7 km (115.4 mi) Mountain stage Alberto Contador (ESP) 21 14 September Santiago de Compostela 9.7 km (6.0 mi) Individual time trial Adriano Malori (ITA) Classification leadership table Stage Winner General classification Points classification Mountains classification Combination classification Team classification Combativity award 1 Movistar Team Jonathan Castroviejo not awarded not awarded not awarded Movistar Team not awarded 2 Nacer Bouhanni Alejandro Valverde Nacer Bouhanni Nathan Haas Valerio Conti Javier Aramendia 3 Michael Matthews Michael Matthews Lluís Mas Lluís Mas Belkin Pro Cycling Lluís Mas 4 John Degenkolb Michael Matthews Valerio Conti Amets Txurruka 5 John Degenkolb John Degenkolb Sergio Pardilla Pim Ligthart 6 Alejandro Valverde Alejandro Valverde Alejandro Valverde Pim Ligthart 7 Alessandro De Marchi Ryder Hesjedal 8 Nacer Bouhanni Javier Aramendia 9 Winner Anacona Nairo Quintana Movistar Team Lluís Mas 10 Tony Martin Alberto Contador Tony Martin 11 Fabio Aru Vasil Kiryienka 12 John Degenkolb Matthias Krizek 13 Daniel Navarro Luis León Sánchez 14 Ryder Hesjedal Luis León Sánchez Luis León Sánchez 15 Przemysław Niemiec Alejandro Valverde Team Katusha Javier Aramendia 16 Alberto Contador Luis León Sánchez Luis León Sánchez 17 John Degenkolb Bob Jungels 18 Fabio Aru Alberto Contador Luis León Sánchez 19 Adam Hansen Pim Ligthart 20 Alberto Contador Jérôme Coppel 21 Adriano Malori Adriano Malori Final Alberto Contador John Degenkolb Luis León Sánchez Alberto Contador Team Katusha …

The 2012 Vuelta a España started on 18 August 2012 and was the 67th edition of the race. The race began in Pamplona with a team time trial and ended on 9 September, as traditional, in Madrid. The 2012 edition saw the return of the Bola del Mundo mountain top finish. It was the venue of an exciting battle between winner Vincenzo Nibali and runner-up Ezequiel Mosquera in the 2010 edition. It was the first time since 1994 that the race visited the region of Navarre. The previous time that Pamplona was visited by a Grand Tour in 1996, when the city hosted the finish of a memorable stage of the 1996 Tour de France. On that occasion, the race paid homage to Miguel Indurain by passing through his home village of Villava en route. The race was won for the second time by Alberto Contador of Saxo Bank–Tinkoff Bank, taking his first overall victory since returning from a doping suspension. Contador, who won the seventeenth stage of the race after a solo attack, won the general classification by 1′ 16″” over runner-up Alejandro Valverde of the Movistar Team team. Two-time stage winner Valverde also won two sub-classifications on the final day; by taking a sixth-place finish on the stage into Madrid, he overhauled the points tally of Joaquim Rodríguez (Team Katusha) in that classification, and their resultant switch of positions, allowed Valverde to take the combination classification – where the lowest cumulative score across the general, points and mountains classifications wins – as well. Completing an all-Spanish podium, Rodríguez finished the race third overall, 21 seconds behind Valverde and 1′ 37″” behind Contador, having led the race for 13 days between the fourth and sixteenth stages. Rodríguez also achieved three stage victories, a tally second only to Argos–Shimano sprinter John Degenkolb who won five stages, the most by a German at the Vuelta. Orica–GreenEDGE’s Simon Clarke became the second Australian to win the mountains classification in a Grand Tour, while the Movistar Team comfortably won the teams classification. 2012 Vuelta a España 2012 UCI World Tour, race 22 of 28 Race details Dates 18 August – 9 September Stages 21 Distance 3,360.2 km (2,088 mi) Winning time 84h 59′ 49″ Results Winner Alberto Contador (ESP) (Saxo Bank–Tinkoff Bank) Second Alejandro Valverde (ESP) (Movistar Team) Third Joaquim Rodríguez (ESP) (Team Katusha) Points Alejandro Valverde (ESP) (Movistar Team) Mountains Simon Clarke (AUS) (Orica–GreenEDGE) Combination Alejandro Valverde (ESP) (Movistar Team) Team Movistar Team ← 2011 2013 → Teams Ag2r–La Mondiale Astana BMC Racing Team Euskaltel–Euskadi FDJ–BigMat Garmin–Sharp Orica–GreenEDGE Team Katusha Lampre–ISD Liquigas–Cannondale Lotto–Belisol Movistar Team Omega Pharma–Quick-Step Rabobank RadioShack–Nissan Saxo Bank–Tinkoff Bank Team Sky Vacansoleil–DCM Stages Stage Date Course Distance Type Winner 1 18 August Pamplona 16.5 km (10.3 mi) Team Time Trial Movistar Team 2 19 August Pamplona – Viana 181.4 km (112.7 mi) Flat Stage John Degenkolb (GER) 3 20 August Oion – Arrate (Eibar) 155.3 km (96.5 mi) Medium Mountain Stage Alejandro Valverde (ESP) 4 21 August Barakaldo – Valdezcaray 160.6 km (99.8 mi) Medium Mountain Stage Simon Clarke (AUS) 5 22 August Logroño – Logroño 168 km (104 mi) Flat Stage John Degenkolb (GER) 6 23 August Tarazona – El Fuerte del Rapitán (Jaca) 175.4 km (109.0 mi) Medium Mountain Stage Joaquim Rodríguez (ESP) 7 24 August Huesca – Motorland Aragon (Alcañiz) 164.2 km (102.0 mi) Flat Stage John Degenkolb (GER) 8 25 August Lleida – Coll de la Gallina 174.7 km (108.6 mi) Mountain Stage Alejandro Valverde (ESP) 9 26 August Andorra – Barcelona 196.3 km (122.0 mi) Flat Stage Philippe Gilbert (BEL) 27 August Rest day 10 28 August Ponteareas – Sanxenxo 190 km (120 mi) Flat Stage John Degenkolb (GER) 11 29 August Cambados – Pontevedra 39.4 km (24.5 mi) Individual Time Trial Fredrik Kessiakoff (SWE) 12 30 August Vilagarcía – Mirador de Ézaro (Dumbría) 190.5 km (118.4 mi) Medium Mountain Stage Joaquim Rodríguez (ESP) 13 31 August Santiago de Compostela – Ferrol 172.8 km (107.4 mi) Flat Stage Steve Cummings (GBR) 14 1 September Palas de Rei – Los Ancares 149.2 km (92.7 mi) Mountain Stage Joaquim Rodríguez (ESP) 15 2 September La Robla – Lagos de Covadonga 186.5 km (115.9 mi) Mountain Stage Antonio Piedra (ESP) 16 3 September Gijón – Cuitu Negro 183.5 km (114.0 mi) Mountain Stage Dario Cataldo (ITA) 4 September Rest day 17 5 September Santander – Fuente Dé 187.3 km (116.4 mi) Medium Mountain Stage Alberto Contador (ESP) 18 6 September Aguilar de Campoo – Valladolid 204.5 km (127.1 mi) Flat Stage Daniele Bennati (ITA) 19 7 September Peñafiel – La Lastrilla 178.4 km (110.9 mi) Flat Stage Philippe Gilbert (BEL) 20 8 September Palazuelos de Eresma – Bola del Mundo 170.7 km (106.1 mi) Mountain Stage Denis Menchov (RUS) 21 9 September Cercedilla – Madrid 115 km (71 mi) Flat Stage John Degenkolb (GER) Classification leadership table Stage Winner General classification Points classification Mountains classification Combination classification Team classification Combativity award 1 Movistar Team Jonathan Castroviejo not awarded not awarded not awarded Movistar Team Imanol Erviti 2 John Degenkolb John Degenkolb Javier Chacón Javier Chacón Javier Aramendia 3 Alejandro Valverde Alejandro Valverde Alejandro Valverde Pim Ligthart Alejandro Valverde Philippe Gilbert 4 Simon Clarke Joaquim Rodríguez Simon Clarke Simon Clarke Joaquim Rodríguez Rabobank Luis Ángel Maté 5 John Degenkolb John Degenkolb Javier Chacón 6 Joaquim Rodríguez Team Sky Thomas De Gendt 7 John Degenkolb Javier Aramendia 8 Alejandro Valverde Alejandro Valverde Rabobank Javier Aramendia 9 Philippe Gilbert Joaquim Rodríguez Javier Chacón 10 John Degenkolb John Degenkolb Javier Aramendia 11 Fredrik Kessiakoff Fredrik Kessiakoff 12 Joaquim Rodríguez Joaquim Rodríguez Mikel Astarloza 13 Steve Cummings Juan Antonio Flecha 14 Joaquim Rodríguez Simon Clarke Juan Manuel Gárate 15 Antonio Piedra Movistar Team Antonio Piedra 16 Dario Cataldo Dario Cataldo 17 Alberto Contador Alberto Contador Alberto Contador 18 Daniele Bennati Gatis Smukulis 19 Philippe Gilbert Ji Cheng 20 Denis Menchov Simon Clarke 21 John Degenkolb Alejandro Valverde Alejandro Valverde not awarded Final Alberto Contador Alejandro Valverde Simon Clarke Alejandro Valverde Movistar Team Alberto Contador General classification Rider Team Time 1 Alberto Contador (ESP) Saxo Bank–Tinkoff Bank 84h 59′ 49″ 2 Alejandro Valverde (ESP) Movistar Team + 1′ 16″ 3 Joaquim Rodríguez (ESP) Team Katusha + 1′ 37″ 4 Chris Froome (GBR) Team Sky + 10′ 16″ 5 Daniel Moreno (ESP) Team Katusha + 11′ 29″ 6 Robert Gesink (NED) Rabobank + 12′ 23″ 7 Andrew Talansky (USA) Garmin–Sharp + 13′ 28″ 8 Laurens ten Dam (NED) Rabobank + 13′ 41″ 9 Igor …
