The streets and waterways of Utrecht, Netherlands were decorated ahead of the Grand Depart of the 2022 Vuelta a España, with the team celebrations taking place on Thursday ahead of the team time trial that will see the 184 riders race through the city on Friday.

Utrecht Mayor Sharon Dijksma welcomed the large crowd gathered on Vredenburg-Platz, noting that the Netherlands had now scored a trifecta for hosting all the Grand Tours, most recently the Tour de France in 2015 and three times for the Giro d’Italia (2002, 2010, 2016). It is the second time the Vuelta has started in the Netherlands, last in 2009 in Drenthe.

The riders representing the 23 teams were paraded past fans along the Utrecht canal using boats to sail on the waterway to the main plaza area.Utrecht Bushalt met hele mensen.
