The Vuelta a Andalucia shapes up to be one of the most interesting races of the early season as it will be the scene of the first big battle between Chris Froome and Alberto Contador. They will test each other on a very difficult course that includes a short, technical time trial and two big mountaintop finishes and we should get the first indication of who will have the upper hand in the Tour de France later this year.

We won't have live coverage of Wednesday's morning stage but you can follow the final five stages here. On Sunday at 13.45 CET, we will bring you the action from the final stage. You can read our preview of the race here.
