The first weekend of September sees an action-packed couple of days of racing with some teams racing triple programmes between races in Spain, France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Norway, the USA and Canada. Cyclingnews will have coverage from the Vuelta a Espana, the Tour of Alberta, the Tour of Britain, the Boels Rentals Ladies Tour and more.
With so much happening in the next two days, Cyclingnews has put together a list of the racing action.
Vuelta a Espana
The Vuelta a Espana’s second week comes to a close with two big summit finishes in the Pyrenees. Nairo Quintana heads into the weekend with the leader’s red jersey on his back and Chris Froome hot on his heels. The race increasingly looks like it will be decided between the pair but the likes of Esteban Chaves and Alberto Contador are waiting in the wings to upset the formbook.

First up for the riders is a brutal 194km stage 14 from Urdax-Dantxarinea, where the peloton must tackle three first category ascents before culminating with the special category Col d’Aubisque. Following the short trip into France, the riders return to Spain for Sunday’s stage from Sabiñánigo to Sallent de Gállego Aramón Formigal. It’s a short day at just 118km, but it packs a punch with three climbs including the summit finish in Aramón Formigal.
Cyclingnews will have full live coverage of both stages from start to finish, plus video highlights, a race report, gallery and results. We will also have all the latest reaction and news from each stage. Click here for our Vuelta a Espana hub page with all the latest news from the race, and click here for the start list.
