[UCI World Tour] Vuelta a España

Vuelta a España 2017

I wasn't gonna do a Giro or Vuelta event but since a few people asked me if I was going to make one, I couldn't resist.

How it works

Predict who is going to win each stage of the race. Anyone with at least one correct predicition will be eligible to enter the (50+ games) winners' event that I will organise at the end of the cycling season.

Leave your prediction for each stage on the giveaway for that stage. Below you can see a table with all of them but you can just go the first one and use the next stage link on there to go through all of them.

Preview

This event is a little more limited than the Tour event though; no Tour Touristique and the preview is just a direct copy/paste of Fernando Escartín's comments from the offical site, so no speculations about the individual stage winners (by me, that is, feel free to add your own).

I can't help but do a very quick listing of a few riders for the general qualification victory. :)
Keep in mind only predictions for stage winners qualify for the winners' event but feel free to discuss the possible general qualification winners below.

• Chris Froome is going to try to become the third man in history to win both the Tour and the Vuelta in one season (and the first to do so since the Vuelta got moved from Spring to its current slot in the calendar). The bookies seem to think he can do it. He'll have Wout Poels there to help him.
• Many of the contenders you'd expect are there this year; Fabio Aru, Rigoberto Uran, Vincenzo Nibali, Esteban Chaves, Romain Bardet, etc, all have done the Tour as well.
• Alberto Contador announced he is retiring after the Vuelta so this will be his final farewell.
• Last year's winner, Nairo Quintana, won't be there, however.
• Also not starting is Tom Dumoulin, which is a shame. However, he won the BinckBank Tour just last week, which was contended by a whole raft of great riders (Sagan, Van Avermaet, I could name ten more).
• As I am keeping this short, I am bound to have forgotten someone.
