CyclingMonday, 05 August 2024 at 09:35
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.
Stage 1: Vilviestre del Pinar - Burgos, 169.3 kilometers
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

- yeah, certainly that’s beyond anything i know about tom’s life, but, as you intuit, it’s hard to make anyone else happy when you are profoundly UNhappy.OCexile22-04-2025
- And his relationship which was probably a side-effect from work problems :-(Mistermaumau22-04-2025

- Always depends on who lines up and how badly he’d want it. Imagine 3 years from now with LBL and and Olympic medal in his pocket, he could consider it his last challenge and neglect everything else to go specifically for that only with a team geared towards it. It would only take good execution and one or two missing favourites for it to happen. In cycling you usually don’t come away too well saying never to possibilities.Mistermaumau22-04-2025
- love tom. smart, interesting guy. and he’s dead right about mathieu, i think. if van der poel had gotten stuck on a team like ineos or visma or soudal, it would have radically shortened his career. fortunately he was smart enough to prioritize freedom with alpecin over the giant contract he could have gotten years earlier with a bigger team. remember that alpecin was just a continental team when mvdp keep signing contract extensions with them for short money. it’s certainly all worked out over time though. maximum freedom — probably the most in the entire peloton — and huge deals now with both alpecin and canyon. tom was such a GREAT talent i wish his career had played out the same way.OCexile22-04-2025
- I can understand arranging to have some neighbors killed to get their land. But I simply cannot abide doping and lying about it.
Barney22-04-2025 - Strange that UCI still hasn't fine him for throwing his glasses across the finish line. That's damaging the image of the sports.
