The Vuelta a Espana, to be held between October 20 and November 8, will begin in Irun and end in Madrid, according to the final route announced on Friday. Two Portuguese cities have been withdrawn from the race due to the coronavirus crisis, with Porto and Viseu replaced by Zamora and Salamanca respectively. The 75th edition of the event, which is one of cycling's three grand tours, will include 18 stages after the cancellation of the first three stages in the Netherlands. ta/dj
