The 2017 Vuelta commences this Saturday. SBS will be showing it live, on VICELAND. Coverage of Saturday's stage kicks off at 1:30AM AEST, so it's definitely one for the night owls. Sunday's stage is a little more viewer friendly, with coverage starting at 11:20pm (AEST).
SBS will also be broadcasting a 30 min Daily Highlights package at 4:30pm, on their main channel.
The first stage is a 13.7km Team Time Trial through the streets of Nimes (France). It wouldn't be the Vuelta without a Cat 3 KoM climb in the middle of the stage.
There's a decent lineup of riders vying for the year's final GT - Contador (his final race), Froome, Bardet, Aru, Zakarin, Yates, Yates, Chaves. That's arguably a stronger lineup than the TdF. Should be well worth watching, if you're feeling like you've had too much sleep in the last 3 weeks.
