The peloton then heads back onto Spanish soil on Stage 5 for a team time-trial before a set of first week mountain stages through the Pyrenees, including a summit finish in Andorra.

Time, points and jerseys - how does the Vuelta A España work?

The red jersey of the Vuelta's general classification leader is now well established ().

 The leader of the mountains classification wears a polka-dot jersey, but its large blue spots mean it's very different to the one that riders in the Tour de France wear.

The points leader's green jersey is lime green, 

while the jersey for best young rider (born after 1 January 1998), is white Jersey – familiar from the Tour de France.

There are other awards on offer as well, including the teams classification and a daily combativity award. Embellished jersey numbers, rather than jerseys, are on offer for this.

 There are 10, 6 and 4 seconds for finishing first, second and third on a stage, plus 3, 2 and 1 seconds at nine different intermediate sprints throughout the race and 10 separate bonus uphill sprints.
