Every Vuelta a España winner since 1985

The top 3 according to 115 votes from people: 1986: Álvaro Pino · 1985: Pedro Delgado · 1987: Luis Herrera. (Updated Jan 9, 2026.)

From Pedro Delgado in 1985 to Jonas Vingegaard in 2025: every overall winner of the Vuelta a España over the last four decades, with nationality. Roberto Heras and Primož Roglič share the record of four wins. The 2011 edition changed winner after a doping case, and Heras won back his 2005 title in court.
