The Vuelta a España continues on Thursday with the stage 18 individual time trial in Valladolid. The start times remain the same for the stage, but the distance has been shortened from 27.2 kilometres to just 12.2 kilometres due to safety issues regarding planned protests in the city.

Valladolid is just one town adding more security forces, staging 450 more police officers than originally planned.

The main overall contenders start around 17:00, with Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) beginning his ride at 16:59, followed by Torstein Træen (Bahrain Victorious), Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Matthew Riccitello (Israel-Premier Tech).

Tom Pidcock, João Almeida and Vingegaard close out the proceedings between 17:13 and 17:17 CET.
