It’s been fourteen years since La Vuelta’s last visit to the largest city of Andalucia. Seville hosted the Gran Salida in 2010 with a night time team time trial. Team HTC–Columbia took the win and Mark Cavendish was the first man in red in that edition.
The last pro-peloton finish in the streets of Seville dates back to 2017. Bryan Coquard sprinted to victory in the 4th stage of the Ruta del Sol, aka Vuelta a Andalucia.
Two years ago La Vuelta passed through Seville in the finale of the race to Tomares, just a few kilometres further. It was the race that was won by Mads Pedersen, while Primoz Roglic – second on GC at that time – crashed out after a late attack.
A sprint finish is the most likely outcome of this year’s 5th stage. The riders travel on rolling roads to a plat flat finale.
The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprint comes with 6, 4 and 4 seconds.
