Vuelta a Burgos 2020 start list: Remco Evenepoel, Mark Cavendish and Sam Bennett to feature
A number of big names take the start line as racing gets underway again
The Vuelta a Burgos will see a number of WorldTour riders resume their season after the coronavirus break.
A field of slightly higher quality than usual is expected to take the start line in Burgos on Tuesday July 28, as teams begin to prepare for the major races coming up over the next few months.
Two hilly stages open the race, with a chance for sprinters on day two, before stage three sees a summit finish at 1500m of altitude.
Stage four is then another one for the fast men, before a final GC day on stage five, with the summit finish at Alto del Collado likely to decide to final general classification.

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.
I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.
Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).
I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
