LIVE: Vuelta a España 2026 Stage 16: One of the final chances for the sprinters

Vuelta a España - Stage 16

Stage 16 of the 2026 Vuelta a España runs 181.1km from Cortegana to La Rábida in Palos de la Frontera on Tuesday, the first day back after the second rest day and one of only two genuine sprint chances left in the race. There are no categorised climbs and the run-in along the Huelva coast is the flattest part of the day, though the sea wind could yet make it awkward for the teams protecting Enric Mas in red. Follow our live report for live timing and chat with other cycling fans, with the neutralised start at 13:05 CEST and the finish expected around 17:19 CEST.
