As the Vuelta a España builds towards its finale in Madrid on Sunday, the riders face one last time trial on stage 18.
Thursday's course in Valladolid is 12.2km and flat, cut down from the original 27.2km by the organisers. The decision to shorten the stage was made on Wednesday evening, in a bid to ensure "greater protection" for the riders amid security concerns over ongoing pro-Palestine protests at the race.
