Rolling off in the Basque town of Irun before its final dramatic street race stage in Madrid, the final Grand Tour race of the season is now underway. Read on to find out how to get a Vuelta a España 2020 no matter where you are in the world.
Pushed back down the calendar thanks to the Covid-19 crisis from its traditional August slot, this year's event has been trimmed down slightly into an 18-stage edition.
Despite the truncated schedule, this year's Vuelta remains as demanding as ever, with five mountain stages alongside eight hilly days for the General Classification riders to tackle.
Last year's Vuelta was won by Jumbo-Visma's Primoz Roglic, marking the Slovenian rider's first Grand Tour victory.
Roglic returns to defend his crown and will line-up with Jumbo-Visma teammate Tom Dumoulin who is also being heavily tipped to end the Vuelta as overall winner.
This year's race also marks the closing of a chapter for one of the sports big names, with Britain's Chris Froome, who will line up for team Ineos Grenadiers for one final time.
