Vuelta 2024 Favourites stage 2: For fast men #1
fotobureau Cor VosThe 2nd stage of the Vuelta a España is far from flat, but things look good for the sprinters nevertheless. That is, the sprinters who do not shy away from an occasional climb.
(Slideshow route/profile)
Obviously, these are exactly the kind of fast men one expects in Spain. The Vuelta is the Grand Tour with the hardest route, so pure sprinters will not find many courses to their liking.
There is hardly a flat section to be found in the 2nd stage, but at the same time, the uphills are not very demanding either. The likes Wout van Aert eat them for breakfast. So, if Lease a Bike decides to control the race, we are likely to see a fast finishers' showdown with the Flemish superstar in pole position.
