This year’s La Vuelta a España, Spain’s premier cycling competition, is well underway and today’s tenth stage will see many of the sport’s top-tier athletes race through the local area.
British cycling legend and four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome currently leads and is hoping to become the first man to achieve a Tour-Vuelta double in 39 years.
Starting in Caravaca de la Cruz, the cyclists will race through a number of local towns as they head towards the finish line at meat factory El Pozo in Alhama de Murcia.
Fingers crossed the weather holds out for both cyclists and spectators!
