The winner is the one and only Tadey Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), who will be like a pig in mud on the Catalan hillsides
Team Vimalis a Bike will send last year's Vuelta champion Sepp Kuss as leader, while Movistar has the top duo of Enric Mas and Nairo Quintana
Others include Alexandre Vlasov (BORA - handgrohe), Hugh Carthy (EF Education - EasyPost), Lenny Martinez (Groupama - FDJ), and INEOS Grenadiers' Egan Bernal and The twin attacks of Geraint Thomas should also be noted
Stage 2 took place in freezing rain and the finish line at Valtell 2000 was covered in snow Because of the conditions, television footage was sporadic, and when Pogacar attacked on the final climb, those watching could only use their imagination and guess at the time gap he had established over the other riders
In the end, Pogacar won comfortably, 1:23 ahead of the rest of the field, and built a healthy overall lead heading into the next stage, stage 3, the mountain finish in Porto Aine

The third stage is 176 km from San Joan de les Abadeses to Portline, with a second summit finish in two days, this time on two huge mountains, Porte de Tocé and Porte de Canto
Stage 4 has only one climb, the Porte d'Agers, about 100 km before the finish And stage 5 is relatively mild by the standards of this race It's a chance to get some rest before stage 6 hits the peloton like a freight train, and with five vicious climbs ahead, including the first-ever wicked Col de Pradel and the summit finish at Queralto, this is shaping up to be one of the toughest days of racing this year
The final stage will also be filled with climbs, first the Col de la Cre de L'Al, and then the six accents of the Alto del Castel de Montjuic outside of Barcelona to close this brutal race
