Cycling: Vuelta breaks with tradition to end in Santiago

This year’s Vuelta a Espana will start in Burgos in central Spain with an individual time trial before ending in Santiago de Compostela three weeks later, organisers said on Thursday.

Five of the race’s 11 mountain stages will be held in that week, including four summit finishes.
