The day through Sarria (Fri Sep 3rd) could also affect the Camino Invierno at Monforte de Lemos.I´ve seen past threads about Spain´s Bicycle Grand Tour. So I assume it is OK to post this.
If you are walking in the area from Belorado to Hornillos area of Camino Frances, the race may impact your walking this weekend.
Saturday is a Time Trial stage completely in the limits of Burgos.
Sunday´s road stage will pass through Hornillos del Camino on it´s way to a Burgos finish line.
Monday´s stage will pass through Belorado.
Then the race is off the Camino Frances for a while:
Friday Sept 3rd the races passes through Sarria.
Sunday Sept 5th the final stage finishes in front of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela! So if you are on a schedule to finish that Sunday, you might want to slow down! Or speed up! Although, from my experiences of traveling in France during the Tour de France, the day before a stage comes to town is pretty busy with tourists & cycling fans.
I do not know of the race impact other routes.
I have yet to walk, but we are thinking about this time next year. Have people´s pilgrimages been impacted by the bike race in the past?

Me too Kanga, I can’t wait to see the places I passed through, some with great significance to me personally.I will be personally impacted because I plan to watch it on TV in the middle of the night! I'm quite excited to be able to see bits of Spain, live, while we are very firmly in lockdown here in Sydney. Sorry if it is a problem for walkers - but I suspect it will be just another Spanish fiesta to enjoy.

Hopefully they’ve finally learnt a bit from the successful travelogue that the tdf is and put on a showYes, @philmickm but don't be too disappointed, the last one I watched they concentrated almost entirely on the race and we saw very little of the countryside. Not like the filming of the TDF which is always a magnificent. Still, I'll enjoy it no matter what.
Thanks so much for posting these. So many familiar scenes of one of my favorite cities. I wasn't able to watch and the few videos I saw showed almost nothing of the cathedral or old city, so these are a treat.The official photo gallery is here:

Too many bike riders, not enough buildings! As expected, it is for fans.The official photo gallery is here:

The live shoot showed the town well though, much better than I expected. Presumably the videos have been edited, so they would be like the photos, more about the riders because that is their main audience, less background.Thanks so much for posting these.

Wonder if any unsuspecting pilgrims wandered into town today, trying to figure out what on earth was happening.
VN, did you see that the race also goes through Ojo Güareña and Espinosa de los Monteros on the Olvidado?The peloton just buzzed through Belorado, next stop Briviesca on the Via de Bayona:

VN, are you able to watch this live? I took a look at one of the recaps on the youtube channel @Crosscheck Rider posted and was sorely disappointed to see that the report focused on the riders and not the scenery.Hey, Lana fans (thinking of our merry crew from the walk earlier this year): I was just checking where the LV peloton goes today, and it's headed through Sigüenza - though it misses the Lana proper. So keep an eye out - it's about halfway through the stage.
Haha. Where I am? Not a chance.VN, are you able to watch this live?
Yes, but our TV coverage started just after Belorado; I was disappointed, it was a significant town for me.The peloton just buzzed through Belorado, next stop Briviesca on the Via de Bayona:
