With the Tour of Britain just around the corner, Alex and Yanto discuss the route, the talking points, and this year's contenders.

The Vuelta a España is the third and final Grand Tour of the summer race season, and the Spanish race always provides an exciting finale to the year for GC specialists.

Renowned for its testing parcours and plethora of summit finishes, the Vuelta represents an immense challenge and several riders have tried and failed to win it in the same season as another Grand Tour.

Paul Knott and Yanto Barker analyse the key stages on this year's Tour de France route, the riders who will be fighting it out for the jerseys as well as making their predictions for how the three week race will pan out.
