Jonas Vingegaard will not be very satisfied with his trial period. The Dane currently ranks eighth, while Primoz Roglic has the second fastest time.

The time trial in and around Valladolid is 24.8 kilometers long. It starts with a technical section and is not completely flat for the first few kilometers, but soon long, straight roads appear on the way to the finish. Evenpoel will be happy if he beats his rivals by about half a minute.

It remains to be seen whether half a minute is enough to control the Vuelta in the second and third weeks. There’s nothing meaningful to say about it yet. There’s still a lot of climbing to do, a lot of climbing. And don’t forget that Vingegaard can also spend some time on trial.

Vingegaard laid the foundations for his Tour de France time trial victory by hurting Tadej Pogacar in a fierce battle against the clock. But in Spain, there is a new tour and new opportunities.

Aside from Evenpoel, Roglic and Vinggaard, Filippo Ganna is of course one of the favorites as well. Who knows, one day Stefan Bisger might be able to make it happen. Things often go wrong at the last minute, but things turn right every now and then… right?
