Chris Froome, Joao Almeida, Peter Sagan and Elia Viviani will know on Monday if they will start the 2021 season at the Vuelta a San Juan, with their teams already working on alternative race calendars because new COVID-19 restrictions could mean the January 24-31 stage race is limited to local teams. 

Froome, Almeida, Sagan and Viviani were announced as the headline line riders of the race two weeks ago, with Froome set to make his highly-anticipated debut with Israel Start-Up nation in South America.
