The season’s third and final Grand Tour, the Vuelta a Espana, rolls out on Saturday – kicking off with a short team time trial to Marbella.
Some 198 riders will take to the Puerto Banus startline for the 70th edition of the Vuelta, including Tour de France champion Chris Froome and rivals Nairo Quintana, Alejandro Valverde and Vincenzo Nibali, who came second, third and fourth behind Froome at the Tour.
Froome is one of three Brits set for the race, with team-mate and key domestique Geraint Thomas and MTN-Qhubeka’s Tour de France stage winner Steve Cummings the others.
