How to watch La Vuelta Femenina 2025
La Vuelta Femenina is the first Grand Tour of the season and takes place from 4th May to 10th May. The seven-stage race will see riders traverse northern Spain east to west, beginning in Barcelona with a team time-trial and culminating atop the Alto de Cotobello in Asturias.
The race has taken many forms despite only being a decade old. In 2015, it began as a one-day race dubbed La Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta and, in a similar vein to La Course and the Tour de France, coincided with the final day of the men’s Vuelta a España. It then became the three-day Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta in 2020 and expanded, eventually landing on five stages in 2022.
From there, La Vuelta Femenina rose in prominence, growing to seven stages and taking place in May as part of a Spanish block of races as opposed to September, further taking shape as its own entity.
In 2024, Demi Vollering stepped into the leader’s maillot rojo with her win on Stage 5 and held it all the way to the finish, beating Visma-Lease a Bike’s Riejanne Markus by 1min 49sec and Elisa Longo Borghini by 2min, and claiming the mountains classification.
Vollering will return to the 2025 La Vuelta Feminina for her new team FDJ-Suez and will face competition from the likes of Canyon-SRAM-Zondacrypto’s Kasia Niewiadoma and Neve Bradbury as well as the likes of a returning Anna van der Breggen and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, as well as 2024 Tour de France Femmes third place Pauliena Rooijakkers of Fenix-Deceuninck.
