The tenth stage of the
Vuelta a Espana will see the riders in the opposite
side of the country, now in the southeast as the Mediterranean coast now will
host the peloton. It will be the race’s only individual time-trial, and one
where gaps will be created and can be very important.
After a week of complicated racing in the mountains, the time-trial will
be completely flat and a big change to the legs of the riders who’ve been
constantly pushing hard. The 31-kilometer route will start in Elche and head
towards the sea, and the second half of the time-trial will be by the sea.
