The 2017 Vuelta a San Juan was a road cycling stage race that took place between 23 and 29 January. It was the 35th edition of the Vuelta a San Juan and the first time it was rated as a 2.1 event on the UCI America Tour calendar.
The race was won by Bauke Mollema for the Trek–Segafredo team; after finishing second to Bahrain–Merida's Ramūnas Navardauskas in the third stage individual time trial, Mollema took the race leader's blue jersey from Navardauskas two days later,[2] atop the Alto Colorado – in a stage won by UAE Abu Dhabi's Rui Costa – and maintained a 14-second race lead to the end of the race.[3] Second place went to Óscar Sevilla (Medellín–Inder),[3] while a further two seconds in arrears, was Androni Giocattoli–Sidermec rider Rodolfo Torres who completed the final podium.[3]
Torres' teammate Egan Bernal won the green jersey for the young rider classification, while riders from the A.C. Agrupación Virgen de Fátima squad claimed all the remaining jerseys: Franco Germán López won the red jersey for the mountains classification, Nicolás Naranjo won the yellow jersey for the sprints classification, while Ricardo Escuela claimed the white and violet jerseys for being the highest-placed rider from the San Juan province and Argentina as a whole. Bahrain–Merida won the teams classification, while Quick-Step Floors won five of the race's seven stages, with two wins apiece for Fernando Gaviria and Maximiliano Richeze and Tom Boonen with one.
