    Stage 18 (Sep 6): Aguilar de Campoo - Valladolid
    Distance: 204.5km
    Highest point: 890m
    Category: Flat

    "The 2012 Vuelta offers a mere half a dozen or so opportunities to the sprinters and this is among the most obvious of them. A lot of the riders will be familiar with some of these roads from the Vuelta a Castilla y León and they will be well aware that the principal danger comes from the wind. Although relatively flat, the stage takes place on the high plains. If it starts to blow, the peloton could split all too easily, especially given the fatigue that most of the field will be fighting by now. Valladolid has a long Vuelta history. The late Wouter Weylandt won the last stage into the city in 2008, outsprinting Matti Breschel."

    I'm guessing Sky will deliver Swift to the line but Degenkolb Bennati will win :D
