Monaco opens Vuelta with inaugural time trial

Monaco will host the opening individual time trial of the 81st Vuelta a España, becoming the first Grand Tour to start in the principality. The stage will set a highly mountainous tone that has already attracted Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar, the five‑time Tour de France champion, who returned to the race after finishing third in his 2019 debut.

The Vuelta’s 81st edition will feature an extremely mountainous profile, continuing the explosive character that has defined recent editions and giving the race a distinct personality. milkshake.it.com
