Nibali is surely overdue isn't he? so much talent...
Nibali won the Vuelta last year. 
My prediction is that if Anton is in the same form he was last year, he'll win. Hopefully he can do a Vuelta in topform and not crash for once.
ah my bad. complete mind lapse

My top 5
Menchov
Igor Antón
Scarponi
Nibali
Van den Broucke.
Attention with the Ancares' stage (I born in this region xD). Althought the climb will not be for the hardest via (Pan do Zarco) it is a very interest climb. The fattered of Sierra Morela (Folgueira de Aigas according the organation notation) and Ancares is very beautiful but the problem is that the top will be about 50 km to go and there will be a path for an highway. Fucking Olano.
Anyway, if the riders want, the stage can be spectacular. I hope that in Salamanca TT, Anton and Purito lose a lot of time against Menchov and they must attack in this stage.
I am painful that Ezequiel Mosquera cannot race cause in this stage I think he would attack, since he is Galician.
Regards.

He's 99,9% that he won't ride this years Vuelta. He had some problems with allergy at the Tour de L'ain and he wants to get cured of his illness. It's kinda ironic, because before the 3rd stage he said to his DS that he'll ride. But lost over 2 minutes at that stage so he doesn't want to risk it.
No cycling, no fun

I think Bradly Wiggins and Van den Broeck won't be able to contend for the victory. It's a mental problem after the Tour... |

The mountain stage is the 4th, not the 5th day, and I wouldn't call it hard.

Oh, I'm sorry. Of course it's on fourth day, but that's even better. If the day is hot as it is usually at the start of Vuelta, then I easily see Cav abandoning. Yeah, you heard me, he will abandon. Cav won't suffer too much in this super antisprinters Vuelta, because of the WC. |

I doubt he'll abandon in Sierra Nevada. It's an easy enough climb for Cavendish (or Kittel, or whatever sprinter) to not to suffer too much.
