Getting near to the time for the final Grand Tour of the year, and Britain's biggest (if not necessarily the best) stage race.
La Vuelta starts on the 25th and runs until the 16th of September. Unlike the Giro and the Tour, the Vuelta's late summer placing means they can get up high early on, so we start with a prologue and reach 1000m above sea level as early as day 3.
The Tour of Britain starts on Sunday 2nd September and finishes on Sunday 9th.
Stage one Sunday, September 2 Pembrey Country Park to Newport 175km
Stage two Monday, September 3 Cranbrook to Barnstaple 174km
Stage three Tuesday, September 4 Bristol to Bristol 125km
Stage four Wednesday, September 5 Nuneaton to Royal Leamington Spa 183km
Stage five Thursday, September 5 Cockermouth to Whinlatter Pass 14km (TTT)
Stage six Friday, September 7 Barrow-in-Furness to Whinlatter Pass 169km
Stage seven Saturday, September 8 West Bridgford to Mansfield 223km
Stage eight Sunday, September 9 The London Stage 77k
