The route of the Vuelta Femenina 25 by Carrefour was presented in Barcelona on 10 March. The seven-day stage race, which is one of the most important events in women's road cycling, starts on 4 May 2025 in the Catalan capital and ends on 10 May in Asturias. The route promises varied stages and a challenging final stage.
Tour of Spain for women 2025 starts in Barcelona
The race kicks off with an 8-kilometre team time trial in Barcelona. The start is in front of Casa Milà, also known as "La Pedrera", an iconic building by architect Antoni Gaudí. The turning point is in front of the gardens of the Palacio de Pedralbes. The short but intense route should give the teams the opportunity to fight for the stage win and the red leader's jersey.
La Vuelta Femenina 2025 through Catalonia and Aragón
The following three stages lead through hilly terrain and promise aggressive racing. The second stage from Molins de Rei to Sant Boi de Llobregat begins with the climb to the Alto de la Creu de L'Aragall (category 2), which is ideal for breakaway attempts. The third stage from Barbastro to Huesca could be affected by strong winds, as was the case last year. On the fourth stage between Pedrola and Borja, two challenging climbs await the riders: Moncayo and El Buste (both category 2).
Mountain finishes as highlights
The fifth stage ends with a mountain finish at the Lagunas de Neila, a well-known finish of the Vuelta a Burgos. A flat sixth stage from Becerril de Campos to Baltanás is followed by the grand finale in Asturias. The final stage from La Robla to Cotobello is considered the toughest in the history of La Vuelta Femenina with a length of 152 kilometres and over 2500 metres of climbing. On the last 75 kilometres, the riders have to tackle three climbs: the Alto de la Colladona (category 2), the Alto de la Colladiella (category 1) and the final climb to Cotobello (category 1).
With the two mountain finishes at the Lagunas de Neila and in Cotobello, the climbing specialists are likely to have an advantage. The challenging final stage in Asturias is likely to determine the winner and, in view of the tough climbs, the overall classification could be shaken up once again. The Vuelta Femenina 2024 was won by the Tour de France Femmes winner Demi Vollering (SD Worx - Protime) won the race. In the end, she was only 1:49 ahead of Riejanne Markus (Visma | Lease a Bike) and two minutes ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini.
