The 2026 winner and podium come from Domestique's report of the final stage. The route, the jerseys, the race's history and the earlier results come from Wikipedia, a secondary source we name each time.
How the race began
Wikipedia (secondary) records that La Vuelta Femenina replaced an earlier race, the Challenge by La Vuelta. The new name was announced in June 2022 and 2023 was the first edition under it. Its organisers are Unipublic and ASO, and it usually runs for seven or eight days in May, which in 2026 made it the first of the three women's Grand Tours of the season, ahead of the Giro d'Italia Women (30 May to 7 June) and the Tour de France Femmes (1 to 9 August).
Status on 22 October 2026
The 2026 race is finished. It ran from 3 to 9 May 2026 over seven stages and 819.5 km, from Marin to the summit of L'Angliru (Wikipedia, secondary).
2026: Blasi takes it on the last climb
Anna van der Breggen (Netherlands, SD Worx-Protime) won stage 6 and took the lead, and started the final stage 18 seconds ahead of Paula Blasi (Spain, UAE Team ADQ). On the climb to L'Angliru on 9 May 2026, Blasi overturned that deficit to win the race in 22h 17' 03", becoming the first Spanish winner of La Vuelta Femenina. The stage itself went to Petra Stiasny (Switzerland, Human Powered Health), who won it alone (Domestique; Wikipedia for the winning time).

Blasi's 2026 season
This was not Blasi's only notable 2026 result. Wikipedia's 2026 season page lists her as the winner of the Amstel Gold Race, and she finished fifth at the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, 6' 13" behind Vollering (Wikipedia, secondary).
Where to watch
The organiser's broadcasters page on lavuelta.es is undated and does not say whether it covers the women's race as well as the men's, so we do not present it as a list for La Vuelta Femenina. What it does list is on watching cycling.
