This year's route includes 10 summit finishes, an ascent of the mythical Angliru and a long, late individual time trial and a team time trial in the three-week Grand Tour.
The final men's Grand Tour of the season is expected to be a spectacle, and every stage will be broadcast live, which adds up to almost 110 hours of viewing pleasure. The Vuelta a España is shown in 190 countries across 100 channels – 60 of them live – and that all adds up to more than a billion hours worth of viewing across the total audience.
