This one is for Cofidis sprinter Nacer Bouhanni to win the first stage of Vuelta Andalucia. He is the best sprinter in this race by far and this stage is perfect for him so even this short odds are pretty good in my opinion.
Bouhanni is only 25 years old but he already won 5 Grand Tours stages(3 in Giro, 2 in Vuelta)
He changed his team in 2015 and the first year at Cofidis was not amazing. However he was still good against second tier sprinters like the ones in Andalucia. He had 11 wins last year which made him the 8th rider in the world in wins.
Like I already said Bouhanni changed his team in 2015 and the lead out train was not the best. This year they signed a very strong rider- Bozic- to help the young French. In the first 2 races of the season Bouhanni did not had him in the team but still got 2 second places behind very strong sprinters like Coquard and Greipel. In my opinion Greipel is the second best sprinter in the world while Coquard is Top 10. No one in Andalucia excepting our rider is a top 10 sprinter in my opinion.
Bouhanni main rivals for this one will be Lobato, Swift and Sbaragli. Lobato and Swift are not even pure sprinters(they like an slight uphill sprint more) while Sbaragli is a nice rider but this will be the first race of the season and he is not at Bouhanni level anyway. Sbaragli only had 1 win in 2015 and if we compare it with Bouhanni 11 we can clearly see the difference between them.
