We may not have Spain's weather in the UK, but thanks to indoor cycling app ROUVY cyclists around the world can experience a selection of routes from the 2024 Vuelta a España.
ROUVY have launched a total of 25 new routes from this year's parcours of Spain's Grand Tour, covering roads in both Portugal and Spain to create a La Vuelta Virtual Spotlight.
The feature will run for six weeks from 12th August to 22nd September.
The La Vuelta Virtual Spotlight includes some of the most challenging, yet stunning, climbs of this year's race. These include the 22km Cabeza de Manzaneda, the Alto de la Colladiella, and arguably the toughest climb of this year's race - Cuitu Negru, covering 19.5km and gradients of up to 24%.
Plus, there's the 9.3% average climb up to the old military base atop Picón Blanco which will be tackled on stage 20 of the race.
The final grand tour of the season once again offers a stunning, yet punishing, parcours for the professional peloton with difficulties faced right from the opening days of the race. Be inspired by the world's leading riders and experience the routes they ride with ROUVY's realistic, high quality video from your own home.
From the rolling landscapes of central Portugal on stage 3 to the picturesque hills of Galicia on stage 10, then onto some of the toughest mountains of the race, the ROUVY x La Vuelta Virtual Spotlight has something for everyone.
"Building on the success of our partnership with La Vuelta over the past few years we've built a really exciting and stunning collection of routes from this year's race," comments ROUVY Product Content Director, Antonín Parma.
"It's an unrivaled way of transporting yourself onto some of the best roads Spain has to offer, whilst getting a feel for what the pro's will tackle as well. Keep going!"
There are three levels of Challenge available in this year's Spotlight, giving options for riders of all levels of ability. Virtual prizes are on offer for all riders completing each Challenge, including the new Trek Madone 2025 for your virtual ROUVY garage.
Regular races will also be held on the virtual routes with additional rewards available for those taking on these more competitive group rides.
To further elevate your experience during La Vuelta, ROUVY has also collaborated with partner Lidl-Trek to design a range of unique training plans, including 15 individual workouts.
