Join the La Vuelta Warm Up and become one of the lucky few to go to Madrid!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The first of the last of the Warm Ups will take place on August 5th. We\u2018ll begin in Luz Saint Sauveur, a commune in the Hautes-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es department in the Occitania region of south-western France. A series of twists and turns through peaceful greenery, alpine forests and small farms snakes up a slope that averages 7%, which becomes more rugged near the summit of this iconic and spectacular climb. When reaching the final km, it becomes much gentler before a last hairpin turn on the right and arriving at the ski resort summit in Luz Ardiden.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">La Vuelta Racing Weekend #4 is here\ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n<p>05\/08 Friday &#8211; 07\/08 Sunday. 2 time zones (9 AM&amp;9 PM CEST).<\/p>\n<p>The first 3 riders from each of the 12 weekend races will get into the random draw &#8211; become a part of the Grand Final in Madrid! \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 Link for more info | <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TxpybcihVr\">https:\/\/t.co\/TxpybcihVr<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FQUASRg2c7\">pic.twitter.com\/FQUASRg2c7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ROUVY (@gorouvy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gorouvy\/status\/1555222412437897216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>On Saturday we\u2019ll set off from Arcos de las Salinas, northwest of Valencia. The spectacular surrounding landscape and mountainside are entirely unspoiled and become more rugged and lunar-like as you snake your way up under deep blue and hot sunny skies. Give it everything on the final windswept slopes, where you will see the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory landmark at the summit.<\/p>\n<p>The very last of the warm ups will begin in the historic village of Guadalupe, home to a UNESCO World Heritage-listed monastery. The course finishes at a military base at the top of the mountain and offers some incredible views of the surrounding countryside. Its remote location remains relatively unknown, but it is one of the better cycling ascents in this part of Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The Grand Final is a hybrid race that marks the last stage of the La Vuelta Virtual 2022 on September 11 \u2013 on the same day and at the same place where the best cyclists in the world will battle for the overall winner of the 77th edition of La Vuelta in
