Diario AS has published the classification for Stage 20 of the 2026 Vuelta a España, a 186-kilometre route from La Calahorra to Collado del Alguacil. The stage took place on Saturday, 12 September 2026, according to the outlet's results page. Diario AS also published a preview of the day's profile and route.
The closing stretch of this year's race has drawn scrutiny beyond the results. MARCA reports that the final circuit at the Alhambra is under debate, with several riders raising the idea of neutralizing it. The same outlet's coverage indicates the concern centres on the route through the monument rather than on the racing itself.
The race is set to finish with a run through the vega of Granada, ending in the city, according to Ideal. ABC reports that the final stages will disrupt traffic in Granada and has published the list of road closures tied to the event.
Stage 20's summit finish at Collado del Alguacil came one day before the race's conclusion, placing the Alhambra circuit and the Granada finale at the very end of the 2026 edition. What remains to be seen is whether the riders' proposal to neutralize the Alhambra circuit gains any formal backing before the race reaches Granada, and how the published closures affect access to the city over the final two days.
