The Torrevieja International Music Conservatory Auditorium hosts today (19:00, Teledeporte) the presentation of La Vuelta Femenina, the first as such with this name. The race will be held from May 1 to 7 with a tour of seven stages and the first will depart from the aforementioned Torrevieja. Javier Guillén, director of the men’s round, said weeks ago that some things will be different compared to past editions: “Finishing in Madrid would mean directing a large part of the route towards that end, so this time it is likely that there is another alternative for the outcome.
Fernando Escartín will be the director of the feminine. Regarding 2022, there will be numerous changes: it will consist of two more stages (it goes from five to seven) and, in addition, It will also have another place on the calendar, since it will be held in May (not in September). One of the stages will be against the clock, presumably by teams, while there will be both sprint and high mountain days, the latter in the second part of the race. Annemiek van Vleuten, from Movistar, won the big three last year.
