The Straits Times|December 04, 2024
MADRID - Italy's Piedmont region will host the first three stages of the 2025 Vuelta a Espana to mark the race's 90th edition, organisers announced on Dec 2.

"Italy is a country that has undoubtedly marked the history of the Vuelta," organisers said of the race, in which Italian riders have won 187 stages and the overall title six times.

"Surrounded by mountains, history and natural beauty, (Italy) extends the list of international locations visited by the Spanish race and further strengthens the links between the great countries of European cycling."

The first stage starts at Turin's Reggia di Venaria on Aug 23 with the next two getting under way in Alba and San Maurizio Canavese respectively in north-western Italy.

The remaining stages of the three-week event ending on Sept 14 will be unveiled on Dec 19.
