Vuelta 2025: New explanation at the summit on the 17th stage, the classification

Organizers affirm that this Vuelta will go all the way. While Javier Guillen, head of the Tour of Spain, called on protesters "not to block the cyclists' path," he assured them that the race will go all the way on Sunday. "Our intention is to reach Madrid. There is no plan B," he insisted. "The most important message I want to convey today is that we are continuing this Vuelta. We will start again tomorrow, and our intention is to reach Madrid. There is no plan B. This is not up for discussion," he began. "We cannot prevent everything. We want to defend our sport. We cannot shorten the stages like this, we cannot block the cyclists' path. Out of respect for the riders, the public, and our sport: simply let us race. We are not asking for more."

Hoping that the athlete is not yet affected, the 17th stage of the Tour of Spain should allow the favorites to show their mettle with a finish at the summit of the Alto de El Morrede. A short stage of 143 kilometers that promises to be a success with a final climb of 8.8 km at 9.7%.
