What we said beforehand

Stage 5 brings the Vuelta a España back to Spanish soil - but not with a typical road stage. A 20km team time trial in Figueres, the latest in race history since 1974, could reshuffle the GC depending on team strength. With a flat profile and a late uphill drag, pacing and team cohesion will be key to gaining or losing time.
