Vuelta a España 2023 stage 10 time trial start times
25.8km time trial around Valladolid sets scene for GC battle, with Evenepoel looking to gain time
The first rest day of the Vuelta a España is over and the general classification contenders will have to be fully focused on Tuesday for the only individual time trial of the 2023 edition of the race unfolds over 25.8km from Valladolid.
The course of stage 10, which features a solitary 600m climb at 6.5%, suit the time trial specialists like Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) but also Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) as he clashes with Primož Roglič and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma).
The time trial starts in the city centre with the first rider of 162, Jayco-AlUla's Callum Scotson, setting off at 14:01 (CEST).
Evenepoel is fourth on GC, two minutes and 22 seconds behind race leader Sepp Kuss, with his Jumbo-Visma teammates Roglič and Vingegaard just a little behind Evenepoel in sixth and seventh place on the overall.
The UAE Team Emirates duo of Juan Ayuso and João Almeida are also just inside the top ten and they, along with Roglič and Vingegaard, have an impressive array of powerful results in the race against the clock. The general classification could look very different after the time trial.
Stage 10 offers Evenepoel a chance to close the gap on Kuss significantly and open it even a little further to others threats. He'll be looking to bring home his advantage in this individual battle, the one place where rivals like Jumbo-Visma and UAE Team Emirates can't play to their strength in numbers near the top of the leaderboard.
The top 20 riders overall start the time trial from 16:24 CEST, leaving in two minute intervals instead of the one minute gap for those departing earlier. Race leader Kuss will be the final competitor to take off from the start gate at 17:02.

It's not just those rolling out late that have something to play for, with plenty of those earlier in the day having potential to lay down a time that takes them to the stage podium.
Ganna, who came second to Evenepoel at the World Championships time trial, is of course one of the key favourites for a stage victory and he'll be setting off at 15:09, while Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-EasyPost) is among the early challengers, setting off at 14:25.
Rune Herregodts (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) is another who could also set an early mark, with the Belgian just the seventh rider out of the gate at 14:07.
