It started on 23 August in Turin, and finished on 14 September in Madrid. It was the 80th edition of the Vuelta a España and the third and final grand tour of the 2025 men's road cycling season. The race was organised by Unipublic, a subsidiary of Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO). The race was won by Jonas Vingegaard of Visma–Lease a Bike, taking his first Vuelta in his career. Vingegaard won stages two and nine to initially build his advantage over his rivals. However, he got sick during the second week and he had to defend his lead before sealing the race on the penultimate stage to Bola del Mundo, where he won his third stage. Second place went to João Almeida of UAE Team Emirates XRG, finishing more than a minute behind Vingegaard. He consistently challenged Vingegaard in the mountains, winning the stage to Alto de L’Angliru in the process, but he was only able to take time through time bonuses and the time trials. The last step on the podium went to Tom Pidcock of Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, taking his first podium finish on a Grand Tour. He performed consistently in the mountains and held off the challenge from Jai Hindley in the final two weeks. 2245777
