This Vuelta will kick off at 16:23 local time (CET) when the veteran Luís Ángel Maté of Euskaltel-Euskadi rolls down the start ramp. Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) will be the last rider down that ramp at 19:18.
Hello there and welcome along to the Vuelta a España! The third and final Grand Tour of the men’s season is upon us and I hope you’ve kept something in reserve after the heady summer of Tour de France and Olympics action. 21 stages lie ahead of us and we’ll be covering them all live right here, starting with this opening 12km time trial in Lisbon.
