La Vuelta Femenina 2024 Overview
The second edition of the revamped La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es will take place from April 28 to May 5. The 2024 edition has expanded to eight stages and begins with a team time trial in Valencia, will be routed through the Pyrenees, and ends in Valdesquí. Comunidad de Madrid.
La Vuelta Femenina History
Last year, the new La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es, was a seven-day stage race, while the previous eight editions of the event were known as the Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta and held at the end of the season in September.
The race started in 2015 as a one-day event, won by US sprinter Shelley Olds. The race was added to the Women's WorldTour calendar the following year, where Jolien D'hoore won back-to-back editions in 2016 and 2017.
Expanding to a two-day race in 2018, Ellen van Dijk, then racing for Team Sunweb, claimed the overall title largely due to a commanding opening team time trial. Recently retired Lisa Brennauer went on to win consecutive titles in 2019 as a two-day race and in 2020 when the race moved into a three-day format.
Annemiek van Vleuten then took over with back-to-back titles the last two years at the Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta. At the 2021 race, she dominated the individual time trial and the mountain stage to secure overall victory. In 2022, the Movistar rider attacked on the Fuente las Varas, the penultimate climb of stage 2, and jumped into a lead she would carry to the conclusion on stage 5 in Madrid.
Last year's seven-day race, held in May, presented the riders with a challenging and mountainous event. Annemiek van Vleuten won the overall title by just nine seconds over Demi Vollering after a thrilling battle for the red jersey.
