By David Hunter We end with a time trial.

By David Hunter Huesca > Sabiñánigo 184.4km I’m not too sure what to make of this stage.

By David Hunter Alba > Sestriere 190km It’s a real shame that the original route couldn’t go ahead as planned, France have pulled down the shutters and refused access, so the Agnello and Izoard have been cut, and we end up with a much easier stage. Quite convenient for the French to get their own race…

By David Hunter Garray. Numancia > Ejea de los Caballeros 191.7km At last, a boring sprint stage.

By David Hunter Come on, who’s idea was this?

By David Hunter Lodosa > La Laguna Negra 166.1km Another mountaintop finish?

By David Hunter Pinzolo > Laghi di Cancano 207km The big day is here.

By David Hunter Pamplona > Lekunberri 151.6km Day two, and another mountain stage. God bless the Vuelta!
