Monaco hosts Vuelta start, cycling paradise

Monaco hosts the Vuelta a España start this weekend, becoming the fourth country to debut all three Grand Tours after Italy, France, and Netherlands.

More than 50 top cyclists including Pogacar, Roglic, Bernal, Quintana, Mohoric, and Trentin reside in Monaco, drawn by its tax advantages requiring six months and one day of residency annually with high financial requirements.

The principality, famous for its Formula 1 race and celebrity culture, previously hosted the Giro start in 1966 and Tour in 2009, with Saturday's Vuelta departure marking another milestone for Monaco in cycling history. albergomalica.it
