Take a look at what's in-store for us in the next few weeks. Everything from muritos, mega-steep mountains, long multi-mountain stages, a lot of innovation but a whole lot of excitement promised.

Interesting read. From your take how many mass sprints (50+ riders) will be taking place?

Think only 4 stages are for pure sprinters, couple are tricky but should still do it, Calpe/Oviedo/Toledo can be sprints but between puncheurs or some rough/punchy sprinters.

My view on the main contenders for every classification and just how they are coming into the race.

And my final pre-Vuelta post, with my insight on all the teams and what they can achieve here.

A nice little TTT to start things off.

You almost forgot didn't you? In the shadow of the Vuelta is the race with very likely the single best sprinter startlist throughout the whole season in a race that just got harder. Racing in Germany under way!

A hard and interesting stage to start of the road stages, no true favourites in a hilly route.

The Vuelta is already on fire, and tomorrow there's a sprint stage with some traps along the way, crosswinds and a descending finish can fool the sprinters.

Another sprint stage, but this one will have a storm, yes literally!

First summit finish of the race, high mountain very early on with gradients that will put the GC riders into a hierarchy.

Finishing on Mas de la Costa, it's the last of the trio of summit finishes in the first week.

A big day for a breakaway to succeed, this time in Catalunya comes a very interesting stage.

We've got an uphill start, steep climbs, frightening descents, gravel and all of it packed in less than 100 kilometers. What happens in Andorra stays in Andorra, let's see who comes out on top tomorrow!

Get ready for an exciting time-trial, this one is far from what it looks. I mean IGNORE the official profile, there's climbing, tricky descending, really narrow roads, etc

A big stage in the Spanish "flats", but there's a big tricky finish in the end, not one you'll see in the profile.

Serious Asturias under way, in Acebo there's another hard mountain stage to deal with.

The last day in the Asturias, a lot of climbing involved and lots of favourites to come with a weird dynamism coming into play.
