Some teams and media have referred to the race as a 'Grand Tour', as it is one of the biggest events on the women's calendar.[1] However, the race does not meet the UCI definition of such an event.[2]
La Vuelta Femenina replaces the Challenge by La Vuelta stage race (previously one day race) run between 2015 and 2022, staged at the same time as the men's tour.
