Episode 1

La Vuelta takes off with a 29.4km team time trial that will serve to place all the riders in the general classification. The Vuelta's 22 teams will depart from the Laias Health Resort and will arrive at the Castrelo de Mino Nautical Park, in the province of Ourense, after almost 30 flat kilometres. It will be a favourable stage for the big teams who want to make an impression, and get ahead of their rivals. The first rider of the winning team to cross the finish-line will have the honour of wearing the first red jersey of 2016. Presented by Gary Imlach with commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar and Daniel Friebe the roving reporter.
