Are you still wishing the Tour de France hadn’t ended this past Sunday? Can’t wait another whole year to get your ‘fix’ of epic bike races? You needn’t worry – the outlook isn’t as dire as you may think.
Although it doesn’t carry the same prestige value as the TDF, the Vuelta de Espana rates as one of the big 3 ‘Grand Tours’ in the cycling world. Beginning this August 29th, the 3 week race will start in Assen, Holland and after Stage 5, head to Spain and traverse the country before ending in Madrid.
I have a feeling that Versus will not be offering daily live coverage, but I’m sure there will be highlights and some weekly coverage of the race. That allots you plenty of time to get out on your own bike and start logging those miles for your own bike tour of Spain!
Our bike tour of Rioja begins this September 6th…why not plan a trip to coincide with the Vuelta? Bike your way through Rioja and then head out to catch some live Vuelta coverage of your own!
