Vuelta 2015: Results

Vuelta 2015 ResultsLa Vuelta 2015 served three weeks of a compelling racing. Esteban Chaves was the revelation in the first week of action, while Tom Dumoulin took the red jersey at the steep Alto de Puig Llorença. Then it was Fabio Aru applying for the overall win with a strong performance in Andorra’s Queen Stage. After a short ‘Purito’ Rodríguez-show in stages 15 and 16 it was back to Dumoulin for a few days, but Aru took control in the last mountain stage. After brilliant team-work by Astana he claimed the red jersey and the 25-yo Italian took his first Grand Tour win. (Slideshow route/profile)
