La Vuelta Femenina St 1-3 LIVE

Stage 3: Elche de la Sierra - La Roda 157.8 km

Long and flat, should be another chance for sprinters unless Dygert has other ideas again.

Expected finish time: 16:45-17:15 CEST

Rodain of the Day : Charlotte Kool

Think DSM will get their leadout better calibrated and the others might have an even harder time.

Stage 2: Orihuela - Pilar de la Horadada 105.8 km

We get the road stages off to a start with a sprint opportunity.

Expected finish time: 16:50-17:10 CEST

Dadaist of the Day : Charlotte Kool

With not too many races that offer chances for climbers, most teams have opted to give as many climbers as possible a chance here so the sprint field isn’t stacked on paper. Given that Kool was actually challenging Wiebes she should be the prime favorite here.

Stage 1 : Torrevieja 14.5 km Team Time trial

The Vuelta is expanding to seven stages and has moved to May. This could get very god. We start of with a TTT like so many Vueltas do.

Equipo of the Day : Canyon/SRAM

A genuinely tricky TTT to predict. All teams with strengths and weaknesses.
