The Vuelta a España will begin with a team time trial on the streets of Barcelona beginning at 18:55 local time. Caja Rural-Seguros RGA will be the first team to embark on the 14.8km race against the clock.

The stage isn't purely flat, featuring minimal elevation as the 22 teams race along the city streets, starting at the beachfront and taking on a succession of largely right-angle bends on a technical course before finishing in front of the famous fountain at Montjuïc Park.
