What we said beforehand
Stage 18 brings the first individual time trial of the race, a 26km pan-flat course around Valladolid suited to time trial specialists. Climbers less adept in the discipline risk losing valuable time in the GC battle. Valladolid last hosted a Vuelta time trial in 2023, when Filippo Ganna won ahead of Remco Evenepoel.
