Preview stage 2. From the 15th to 19th of August the peloton takes on the
Vuelta a Burgos. One of the many Spanish races at this time of the year and perhaps the most important preparation race ahead of the Vuelta a Espana.
The second day of racing is one of the very few team time-trials of the year. It is 13.1 kilometers long, not too long so that it doesn't create huge differences in the overall classification but big enough to create gaps. Interestingly, the finale is not flat, into Poza de la Sal the riders find a slight rise which is around 2 kilometers at 5%.
