This year’s Vuelta a España is shaping up to be an exciting battle between some big general classification riders. Three-time Vuelta winner Primož Roglič will be on the start line for his new team Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe and he'll be hoping to take a fourth title here, especially after a disappointing Tour de France, where he crashed out on stage 12. But it won't be a one-horse race, however, as he'll have to face defending champion and former teammate Sepp Kuss and UAE Team Emirates, who are planning to bring a team of GC contenders, including Adam Yates, João Almeida, and Isaac Del Toro. Elsewhere, Mikel Landa (Soudal–Quick-Step), Enric Mas (Movistar), and Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) will also be hoping for their own opportunities on the GC. 

With such a star-studded line-up, we expect fireworks, so this will be a Grand Tour you won’t want to miss. To make sure you catch all the action, we’ve listed the places you can watch the race unfold whether you are at home or out and about.
