The organisers of the Women's World Tour (WWT) race, the Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta, announced an expanded course for the 2021 edition, September 2-5, with four stages taking place in Galicia including a mountain time trial to the Cabeza de Manzaneda Ski Resort.

The Ceratizit Challenge started out as a one-day race in Madrid in 2015, taking place in conjunction with the Vuelta a España much like La Course by Le Tour de France and its July counterpart. The event expanded to two stages in 2018 and added a third last season. However, this year's race will be the toughest of all the editions.
