Grand Departure Of La Vuelta 2026 in Monaco

The 2026 Vuelta a España will exceptionally start in Monaco, marking a historic moment for the Principality. After launching the Giro d’Italia in 1966 and hosting the Grand Départ of the Tour de France in 2009, Monaco is preparing to once again resonate with the excitement of cycling and will become the only city in the world to have hosted the start of all three Grand Tours. The riders will set off on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from Casino Square for a 9.6 km individual time trial through the streets of the Principality. The following day, Monaco will again serve as the starting point for a stage taking the peloton to Manosque.
