La Vuelta Femenina 2024 – Stage 1 preview

The stage 1 opening team time trial profile delivers a flat route through the broad, flat boulevards of Valencia. At 16km, slightly further than last year's 14.5km opening TTT, the stage is longer than last year but still short enough that it is likely to be a matter of establishing the opening hierarchy rather than being a major GC day.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
