What the stage looks like
Final-stage Sunday 21: a short 99km from Carrefour Granada into the centre of Granada — historic Andalusian city finishing the race. The Vuelta's closing day traditionally features the overall winner riding to the finish in a processional opening before the sprinters contest the line.
What to follow
- Granada finish is a departure from the traditional Madrid closing — first GT in years to end outside the capital.
- Short 99km makes for a tactical, attack-friendly final stage rather than a pure parade.
- GC battle should be resolved on stage 20, leaving the sprinters to fight the line.
When to tune in
GC processional in the first half, then bunch sprint in the closing kilometres. Final stage of the 2026 Grand Tour calendar.
