The Vuelta a España is one of the prestigious three-week-long Grand Tours and a pinnacle race in the world tour race calendar.

Riders tackle 21 stages and cover a total distance of 3,417km (2,123mi) across those three weeks. It's a daunting task, and the rest day come far and few between. But when they do, it's an opportunity for riders to re-coop, and also an opportunity for the rest of us to catch up on the race and what's to come.

Join us with Eurosport & GCN and special guest hosts ride leaders Bernie Eisel and James Lowsley Williams for a special rest day ride and some banter on the Vuelta a España.
