Watch all the action from the 2023 La Vuelta Femenina from May 1-7, streaming LIVE and FREE via SBS On Demand.
The 2023 La Vuelta Femenina promises to be an exhilarating event, as Spain enters the Women's WorldTour with a fresh start.
Formally known as the Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta, the event has undergone a revamp which moves it closer to becoming a true Spanish women’s Grand Tour.
Now expanded by two additional days, the 2023 La Vuelta Femenina will cover 730.3km across a full week, including a high mountain grand finale on stage 7 to Lagos de Covadonga.
The 16-kilometre ascent averages a gradient of 7.4%, and has been used 22 times in the Vuelta a España, conquered most recently by climbers Primož Roglič, Thibaut Pinot, and Nairo Quintana.
The race begins with a 14.5-kilometre team time trial, followed by several flat stages.
The fourth stage to Guadalajara features a climb over the 4km slopes of the Alto de Hurche, where the intensity of the race increases.
The fifth stage has the category 1 Puerto de Navafría at the mid-point, followed by a 5km climb of Mirador de Peñas Llanas to the finish line.

The penultimate stage presents a pair of category 2 climbs, the Alto de Fuente de las Varas and Puerto de Campo el Hayal, before the massive final day of racing.
Stage 7 is just 93.7km long, but with the category 2 Collado Moandi mid-stage and the summit finale on the Lagos de Covadonga, it serves as the main attraction for the week.
