Has I am not much intrested about Olympics..I just go straight to my next event. I was looking Vuelta stage profile..looking good.. Also have to admit I'm little dissapointed about this year TdF stage profile..I prefer more classic mode we hade..first week for sprinters (and this also give us real best sprinter..not climber-sprinter..I realy have nothing against Freire) then we hit mountain and hard..3 stunning mountain stages in Pyrenees..then flat ..then 3 hard mountain stages in Alps.
But now but your prediction here? (we can all laugh later) what i did now?..i started "Contador" spam
...and where I can find startlist..what he have a moment..speculation? |

Tinkoff will field (obviously) Ignatiev along with (I reckon) Serrano, Pedraza, Petrov, Gottfried, Khatuntsev, Sobal, Kiryienka. If i were Oleg Tinkov, that's who id race 
EDIT: Serrano definately will be riding due to a news article printed on the 9th June on Cyclingnews.
"The 29 year-old, in the peloton known as "Richi", hopes that the rest of the year will be better: "I am already thinking about the Vuelta a España, because there I hope to be able to make up for the whole year. Until this race, I will have to be patient and hope to do better in my next races.""
EDIT2: And no, he hasn't done better in his next races either!

Unless Caisse's plans from two weeks ago have changed, Valverde is there for stage wins and the team leader is whoever can be higher up on GC.
Anyway, it's a climbers' Vuelta. 40km TT on stage 4 or 5 or so, then it's all about climbing. All mountain stages fall on weekends

That trouly deserves a banana , Angluri is going to be a killer mountain, where you have to have a good if you don't want to lose the Vuelta.

I'm actually going to make an effort to watch/record the Vuelta this year. Last year was the first time i watched the Giro - and i loved that (more than the tour!!!!!) and so i think i'll watch the Vuelta and see which riders have gambled their entire season on one masssssive race!

Looks like you can't count, or you don't know how many people stand on a podium...

I think Contador will win, but I don't hope so.
