The Vuelta a La Rioja (English: Tour of La Rioja) is a regional Spanish road bicycle race held in La Rioja.
From 2005 to 2008, it was a 2.1 category race on the UCI Europe Tour.
The event is facing financial challenges in 2009.
Wrote velonews.com: Economic woes in Spain have forced organizers to reduce the formerly three-day Rioja tour into a one-day race around the famous wine-growing region.
Rather than risk not having any race at all, organizers opted to downsize in 2009 with hopes of reviving the stage-race format next season.
