The 2021 Vuelta a España kicks off with a 7.1km-long individual time trial in Burgos.
The flat course will give us the first time gaps in the general classification, the likes of Primož Roglič, who recently won time trial gold at the Tokyo Olympics, will be one of the favourites to take the stage and first red jersey as he looks to win his third Spanish Grand Tour title in a row.
The first rider off the start ramp is Burgos BH's Pelayo Sanchez at 17.44 Spanish time (subtract an hour for British Summer Time) and the last off is Roglič at 20.47.
Below are selected rider start times followed by all rider start times for the opening race against the clock.
