A lot of curiosity floats all around the Vuelta a Andalucia 2018. The southern-Spain stage race is the ending of an intense month of cycling in the Iberic country and it is usually stage for the top-echelon riders of the international peloton. The spanish competition will be held from 14 to 18 February and will involve the most competitive sprinters and climbers around. One of those is Chris Froome: Sky’s rider, pending the judjement because of the test over salbutamol he failed last september, will race anyway until the competent body will take a decision on his case. Twentytwo teams will take part to the event, which seven of those are World Teams. Probably the winner-in-office, Alejandro Valverde, is not going to participate to this competition.
