Re: Re:
- I don't care about B/C-class sprinters. The reason they will attend and the best won't is because there are a huge amount of medium mountains/WC-esque stages which is a huge plus. You noted it yourself as a plus and this is the result of it. Anyways, they can't possibly be worse than 2016.
- The riders will probably complain, but honestly, I don't care about transfers.
- Again, something I don't care about.
The Sierra Nevada stage is meh, but honestly, thats about it. It could turn out great anyways, it has the potential. If the Giro is a 7, the Vuelta is definitely a 7. I'd say at least 7,5-8,0 and for Vuelta standards 9,0.

It's quite solid at least - not harder than Sella Ronda - but the gradiants are LOCO.
Overall this a 8-9 in a Vuelta world. and perhaps a lucky 7-ish overall.
+: ITT
+: Stage 3

-: Sierra Nevada ???
-: B/C-class sprinters incoming
