Team Picnic PostNL coach Callum Ferguson: “This year’s edition of the Vuelta should make for hard racing every day and there is no real stage where the peloton can relax. Every day has some hills and technical segments which can split the bunch, and then we end the race with two very hard mountain top finishes. We head to the race with two main sporting goals: to go for the best possible GC result we can achieve with Eleonora as our finisher, and to hunt for day results alongside that. We also want to continue to focus on not letting the basics slip too, work well as a unit, and bring each other up, so that we can get the best Vuelta possible out of each other.”
