Preview - Vuelta a Espana 2022 stage 1 TTT

The Vuelta a Espana starts in Utrecht. It will be a team time-trial to kick things off, 23.4 kilometers in distance and completely flat. It will not be an easy day however, with teams having to manage and plan how to conduct the course in the fastest way possible, knowing they have several technical sections ahead.

Early in the route there are also some narrow sections, and so it will be critical for teams to be able to take risks but stay upright in order to keep the momentum and save as much energy as possible.

Stage 1: Utrecht - Utrecht, 23.3Km

In 23 kilometers there will be enough space to put in some time between teams, and things will open up in the second half where it will be possible to put the power down in a more organized way. It is rare nowadays to see a team time-trial, so this should be a good spectacle with the GC riders also urging to put in as strong times as possible.
