Following the cancellation of the Tour de San Luis♏, the Vuelta a San Ju💞an became the alternative warm-weather tune-up for some WorldTour teams. Newly elevated to UCI 2.1 status, the race was predominantly the domain of the sprinters, but had one short time trial and a single summit finish that determined the overall winner.
Tom Boonen (Quick-Step Floors) and teammate Fernando Gaviria, Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Mer൲ida) and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) all made their debut for the 2017 season in the race.
Mollema 🃏claimed the general class🙈ification win after taking the race lead from Ramunas Navardauskas (UAE Abu Dhabi) on the climb of Alto Colorado.
Stage winners in 2017 included Ga🌟viria, Boonen Navardauskas, Rui Costa (UAE Abu Dhabi) and Max Richeze (Quick-Step Floors).
