Stage 1 Vuelta a España Prediction: An Exciting Team Trial to Witness at the Start of the Event

The upcoming team trial event of Vuelta a España 2022 will take place in Utrecht, from where teams and their respective riders will be taking the mark, looking to cross the 23.3-kilometer distance. The upcoming starter of the event will feature bikers from around the globe, demonstrating their ability to produce team balance and win together as a team. Going in the contest, riders will be well aware of the path, which seems a little tricky as it has tight turns of the route. Teams will look to stay up with the clock ticking, adapting to the track conditions on the race day.

Riders to Look Out For

Jumbo-Visma - Favorites to Win

Going in the contest, the dutch team is equipped with season riders from the ongoing season. Jumbo-Visma has the ideal combination of riders in their lineup, making them favorites to win. With the services of Primos Roslik, the Olympic time trial champion, and the former two-time champion Rohan Dennis, Jumbo-Visma looks in decent shape to win. With the time trial event underway, teams will look to take on Jumbo-Visma, the time trial powerhouse in the mid-way of the track.

Quick-Step Alpha-Vinyl - Can be Up for the Second Spot

Quick-Step Alpha-Vinyl is likely to take its chances against the formidable favorites, Jumbo-Visma. Going in the contest, Remco Evenpoel will look to keep in a distance of Jumbo-Visma, giving them so competition till the very last moment of the race.

Ineos Grenadiers - Missing Out Experienced Riders

Going in the game, Ineos Grenadiers could have been the favorites to win, but they are missing out on the core team members which they had in the previous Grand Tours. Ethan Hayter, Luke Plapp, and Dylan van Baarle can turn the tables in the last kilometer and surprise the favorites.

Expert Betting Tips

Going in the game, I will be backing Jumbo-Visma to win and claim the red jersey quite convincingly. Ineos Grenadiers can acquire the second spot if they manage to overtake Quick-Step Alpha-Vinyl.
