The 2025 Vuelta a España is a three-week cycling race which will take place in Italy, France and Spain between 23 August and 14 September 2025. It will be 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 will depart from Turin and finish in Madrid.[1]
Teams
[edit]Twenty-three teams will take part in the race. All 18 UCI WorldTeams were automatically invited. They will be joined by five UCI ProTeams: the two highest ranked UCI ProTeams in 2024 (Lotto and Israel–Premier Tech), along with three teams selected by Unipublic, the organisers of the Tour.[2]
Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) rules allow twenty two teams to enter a Grand Tour – eighteen UCI WorldTeams, the two highest ranked UCI ProTeams from the previous season and two teams invited by the organisers. Grand Tour race organisers ASO and RCS Sport asked the UCI to allow an additional wildcard team to be invited to Grand Tour events, after lobbying from smaller teams competing for the wildcard slots.[3] Larger teams were reported to not support the request.[4] In March 2025, the UCI announced that twenty three teams would be permitted in 2025, allowing an additional team to be invited.[5]
