After the Tour de France organizer ASO announced a few weeks ago that a women's race will also be held on the final day of the upcoming Tour de France on the Champs-Elysées [ Link ], the organizers of the Vuelta a España are now following suit.
Speaking to the Spanish daily newspaper AS, race director Javier Guillén (pictured left) stated: "Similar to the Tour de France, we also want to hold a women's race on the final day next year." This year, this is not possible due to the route, as the race concludes with an individual time trial in Santiago de Compostela. Regardless, this situation also gives the organizing agency, Unipublic, the opportunity to learn from the Paris event.
It is unclear whether there will also be a Tour of Spain for women in the future, based on the Giro Donne or the former Tour de France Feminine. Although this is required by some drivers in the women's peloton. However, Guillén did not provide any information about this.
