For the second stage of the Vuelta a Andalucia I have Ben Swift to win at 12 odds available at Bet365.
This second stage will have a pretty hard 6.6 kilometes, 6% gradient climb with only 15 kilometers to go so I think only the sprinters that also can climb will be in the front group at the end. Swift is one of those sprinters.
Swift already have some racing under his legs in 2016 and this should be good for him. He was in Australia where he raced the Tour Down Under and then went to Dubai to race the Dubai Tour. He was not in a great form but in a stage that was pretty similar with this one in Tour Down Under he finished second behind the super inform Gerrans.
Swift showed his great climbing in 2015. He was amazing in Coppi e Bartalli where he actually was very close to win the General Classification despite the fact there were some very hard climbs there.
Swift is a rider with great results in the past. He was 3rd in one of the 5 Monuments Milano San Remo 2 years ago. He also won a stage that was pretty similar to this one in Vuelta a Pais Vasco in 2014. Valverde is 5.0 odds for this stage and was second in that stage behind Swift.
