Your complete guide to watching the Vuelta a España with details including dates, times and the full schedule for each stage.
The Vuelta a España returns to round off a packed cycling schedule in the summer of 2022.
Many riders have been subjected to the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, the Commonwealth Games and now face the treacherous trek through Spain.

Riders will spend three days touring the Netherlands before jetting south to Vitoria-Gasteiz, near Bilbao in the north of the country, for the first leg of the Spanish journey.
