Vuelta 2019 Favourites stage 1: TTT with red lining

Jumbo - Vuelta 2019 Favourites stage 1:The opener of La Vuelta is a flat team time trial of 13,4 kilometres. The race is all the more interesting as the battle for the first red jersey is raging in the background. (Slideshow route/profile)

Arguably, Jumbo-Visma is the team to beat, as their 2019 credentials are impressive. With a dominant performance on the team time trial of the Tour de France, the Dutch squad took victory 20 seconds ahead of Team Ineos and 21 up on Deceuninck-QuickStep. And in February they won the UAE Tour chrono race for teams ahead of Team Sunweb and Bahrain-Merida. The route of that last test was similar to the opener of the Vuelta.

Mitchelton-Scott is the only team to outperform Jumbo-Visma in 2019. The Australians were on song at the Tirreno-Adriatico and they bested Jumbo-Visma by 7 seconds.
