route
The drivers started in Murcia with a 6 km long prologue. On the following 21 stages, the riders expected five mountain arrivals. Among other things, the Alto de Angliru , with up to 23% steep ramps and roads paved especially for the Vuelta, was in the program for the first time. Compared to the previous year, the tour was almost 300 km shorter, but the kilometers in the two individual time trials increased from 78.5 to 103. The organizers wanted to match the characteristics of the other two major tours, the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia , approach and thus increase the attractiveness.
Participating teams
course
The first winner of the golden jersey was the Spaniard Igor González de Galdeano , who won the prologue. But then the tour developed into a German gala performance. While the German sprinter Marcel Wüst won the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th stages and took the overall lead for two days, Jan Ullrich also triumphed . The captain of the Deutsche Telekom team , who actually only wanted to use the Vuelta to prepare for the upcoming World Cup, won the 6th stage in the sprint of a leading group and from the 12th stage slipped on the leader's jersey, which he took to Madrid no longer gave. In Arcalís ( Andorra ) Ullrich had already laid the foundation for his Tour de France victory in in 1997. In the final individual time trial , Ullrich again put his competitors in their place. The other favorites like Abraham Olano and Alex Zülle could not endanger the winner at any time. The big surprise of the three-week tour was Igor González de Galdeano, who was sensationally second overall.
The historic first arrival on the Alto de Angliru was decided by José María Jiménez , after he caught up with Pawel Tonkow, who had been the leader until then, by almost a minute on the last three kilometers of the climb and only caught up with him 500 m from the finish.
