2019 Vuelta a Espana - Stage 1

Stage 1 Team Time Trial  Salinas de Torrevieja to Torrevieja 7.3 KM 22 Teams in race.  Favorite Jumbo Visma crashed on a corner after water on roadway in previous corner all but 3 of the teams went into the barriers and thus ended up 40 seconds behind the winning team of Astana.  Because of their win the first teammate to finish will wear the red jersey starting in Stage 2.  Miguel Angel Lopez -- the 8th Columbian to wear the "red" jersey and win a stage.  The scenery in this part of Spain was great -- loved the salt mine start --- looked like snow.  The finish was near sunset over the port since the race started later in the day.
