2025 Vuelta a Espana to start in Turin

The 90th edition will start in Italy's Piedmont region which will host the first three stages next year

It will begin on August 23rd 2025 in the region of Piedmont, which hosted the first three stages of this year's Giro d'Italia plus a stage of this year's Tour de France, with Turin becoming the second city to have hosted stages of all three Grand Tours.

The first stage will begin in Turin from Palazzo di Venaria and end in Novara. A lone Category 3 climb at the Puerto Bienca-Tomalino occurs too far from the finish to influence the expected sprint finale, so one for the sprinters.

Stage 2 begins in Alba and concludes on the steep gradients of the Puerto Limonte after a 10km climb, offering climbers their first opportunity for a stage win.

Stage 3 spans 139km between San Maurizio Canavese and Ceres, with the Category 2 Issiglio Pass promising a challenging stage.

Stage 4 will depart from Susa near the French border, with details of the finish still under wraps it could enter France before heading back down to Spain.

The remainder of the three-week route will be unveiled this December 19th

Piemonte is a regular host of cycling’s biggest events, which include Biniam Girmay’s victory in Turin during the 2024 Tour de France.
