These days on social networks there is a lot of talk that the usual harshness of L’Anglirand stretches of land, sterrato, are added to it, but it will not be like that. Javier Guillén, general director of La Vueltaconfirms it to MD: “We are open to any opinion. L’Angliru already has enough toughness and we value everything.

The 2027 cycling season will for the first time have the Return to the Canary Islandswith the first two stages planned for January 14 and 15. The existence of this career should not be linked to the dream of Javier Guillén that the ‘lucky islands’ have a prominent role in the Vuelta route for the moment. “We welcome the fact that there is this race. There is no link, but the Canary Islands deserve a race.”
I hope Pogacar returns next year, we would welcome him with open arms and the fact that he only thinks about returning is already a joy for us.
The best cyclist, Tadej Pogacarshone with his own light this year in La Vuelta until he suffered an ugly fall that ended the season early. The Slovenian cyclist himself has said in one of his team’s concentrations in the United Arab Emirates which plans to include La Vuelta in its 2027 racing program, a decision applauded within the Spanish round. “If Pogacar returns it would be to redouble the dream he gave us last year. It was a shame that he had to abandon the race, in which he showed how great he is as a runner and as a person. I hope he comes back next year, we would welcome him with open arms and the fact that he only thinks about coming back is a joy for us.”
At this point in the month of November, Javier Guillén assures MD that “we have two very powerful and cool stages prepared. We are excited to recover the north of Spain. We will return to the Cantabrian Sea and finish again in Madrid. It will be a journey that will go from less to more, with very Vuelta stages and looking for some discovery that will attract attention just as we think. “I am very happy with how the route is going.”
But to know the route in detail we will still have to wait a little for the official presentation. The launch will be in Galicia and most likely it will be the second week of January.
