    Stage 1 of this eagerly anticipated Vuelta is nearly upon us!

    GC could be wide open, There’s lots of decent climbers, so teams should be quite varied!

    So everyone is going to be very hush hush about their picks!

    If anyone isn’t, please feel free to share your wisdom!
    😉

    So scoring wise. Top team all get 20 points? Or does first rider across the line get more for quickest rider of the day (jersey)?

    I’ve noticed that the TTT starts at 18:48 local time and won’t be finished until 20:45. Will the riders therefore be using front and rear lights to complete their 27km run out, and could their choice of aerodynamics vs weight vs illumination (or even blinking vs solid!) play a dramatic role in the outcome of the race? Fantasy Vuelta just took on a whole new dimension…
