The race was won by Primož Roglič of team Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe for a record-tying 4th time. Roglič took the lead in the general classification on stage 3 before relinquishing it to Ben O'Connor (Decathlon–AG2R La Mondiale), who wore the maillot rojo from stages 6 to 19. Roglič won stages 4, 8, and 19, and on stage 19 also regained the lead in the GC. O'Connor held onto second place, his best finish in a grand tour, while Enric Mas of the Movistar Team finished in third.[2]
Wout van Aert (Visma–Lease a Bike) and Kaden Groves (Alpecin–Deceuninck) won three stages, with Groves winning the points classification after van Aert abandoned the race during stage 16 after crashing during a slippery descent. Groves finished with 226 points, a comfortable advantage over Roglič, his nearest opponent, who had 140. Van Aert had 291 points before abandoning.[3]
Jay Vine and Marc Soler of UAE Team Emirates won the mountains classification and the combativity award, respectively. Their team also won the team classification. Mattias Skjelmose of Lidl–Trek won the young rider classification.[4]
22 teams took part in the race. All 18 UCI WorldTeams were automatically invited. They were joined by 4 UCI ProTeams: the two highest placed UCI ProTeams in 2023 (Lotto–Dstny and Israel–Premier Tech), along with Equipo Kern Pharma and Euskaltel–Euskadi who were selected by Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the organisers of the Vuelta.[5]
Soudal–Quick-Step chose to compete under a different name from the rest of the season: they became T-Rex Quick-Step, using the name of a product made by Soudal, their normal sponsor.[6]
