The race:
The Vuelta a San Juan is an early-season Argentinian Stage race first run in 1982. For 2017, the race was upgraded to 2.1. Because the other important early-season Argentinian race, the Tour de San Luis, was not run in 2017, several important teams decided to start their season at the Vuelta a San Juan.
In 2018 apparent Winner Gonzalo Najar was found positive for the banned blood booster CERA. He was been banned from racing for four years. Oscar Sevilla is the winner of the 2018 Vuelta a San Juan.
In 2008 Pedro Gonzalez was disqualified for doping, but in 2017 he was cleared and is now the winner of that edition.
Our listing of results begins in 2017, the 35th edition of the race. That year the UCI upgraded the race to 2.1.
