PREVIEW | Vuelta a Burgos 2024 stage 1 - Can Caleb Ewan win opening sprint?
Cycling
From the 5th to the 9th of August the peloton will tackle the Vuelta a Burgos. The Spanish race is the single most important race in preparation for the Vuelta a Espana and features opportunities for the climbers, time-trialists and sprinters alike. We preview stage 1.
The race starts off with an explosive stage finishing in Burgos, as usual. But this time around it is not a race up to the castle but instead with an urban sprint finish. However there is no certainty that this will be one for the sprinters, there are a few hilltops in the final kilometers which may serve as launchpads for late attacks to succeed.
Prediction 2024 Vuelta a Burgos stage 1:
*** Caleb Ewan, Iván Garcia Cortina
** Marius Mayrhofer, Pavel Bittner,
* Jon Aberasturi, David González, Giacomo Nizzolo, Finn Fisher-Black, Edoardo Affini, Omar Fraile, Quinn Simmons, Ide Schelling
Pick: Pavel Bittner

- Jorgenson needs races to improve, he won Paris Nice last year, he should have been given open rein this year. He rode his guts out for Jonas last year, Jonas just needs to build form for the Tour. Give Matteo a race without a co captain.awp16-03-2025

- Yes, he’s impressive at the moment but lets see how long he keeps it up first so we know this isn’t his peak whilst those he’s expected to go up against are still building up to theirs.Mistermaumau15-03-2025
