Race organisers revealed the full route of the 2016 Vuelta a Espana, which will include 10 summit finishes - one more than the 2015 edition of the race. The race as a whole will be less mountainous than the previous year, but the majority of the harder stages are scheduled into the second week, which means that we could see a potential overall winner before the final week or the finale stage in Madrid.

The climbing during the second week of the race will be the most decisive. After already completing four summit finishes, the peloton will embark on stage 10, the most difficult as it finishes on the Lagos de Covadonga, widely rated as one of Spain’s toughest single climbs. That ascent will be followed by climbs in subsequent stages over Peña Cabarga (a summit finish), Alto del Vivero in Bilbao, and summit finishes in Aubisque and Formigal.
