2015 Vuelta a Espana gallery

The 2015 Vuelta a Espana started on the beachfront in Porto Banus with a team time trial and finished 20 stages later in Madrid with Fabio Aru becoming the first Sardinian to win a grand tour in a race that will be remembered for its incidents as much as its racing exploits. Despite the presence of Tour de France winners Chris Froome and Vincenzo Nibali and Movistar's grand tour winning combination of Alejandro Valverde, the fight for the overall was between Aru, Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) and Joaquim Rodríguez (Katusha).
