The route was announced in March 2024, with the race extended to 8 stages in length.[3] The route was considered to be much more difficult than the 2023 edition – with three mountain top finishes in two mountain ranges (Pyrenees and Sierra de Guadarrama), and around 126 km (78 mi) longer.[4] The first rider to the top of the Valdesquí climb on the final stage was awarded the Cima Estela Domínguez,[1] honouring the Spanish rider who was killed while training in 2023.[5]
