Vuelta a España stage 10 time trial start times

Following a long transfer and a rest day in Alicante, the Vuelta a España peloton will face a 30.9km individual time trial on Tuesday. Stage 10 will test riders against the clock on a flat course that begins in the town of Elche, and moves east before travelling up the coast to the tourist city of Alicante. 

As is traditional, the riders will set off in reverse order, beginning with the last placed rider on general classification, Alpecin-Deceuninck's Floris De Tier, at 13:52 local time. 

Almost exactly three hours later, current overall leader Remco Evenepoel of QuickStep-AlphaVinyl will look to defend the red jersey, as the last rider off the start ramp.

Riders will set off at one-minute intervals up until the final 20, who will be sent off at two-minute intervals.

Evenepoel is expected to consolidate his 1:12 lead on GC in a discipline with which he has a particular affinity. He will be riding behind Enric Mas (Movistar) who has made a strong start to the race, with another strong time trialist, three-time winner Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma), ahead of him, at 1:53 down on Evenepoel. 

While the time trial may not be long enough for lower-placed riders to make a significant impact on the lead of the 22-year-old Belgian, there is expected to be a reshuffling in the GC standings following the test against the clock.
