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.
