Why would Andy of all people go to the Vuelta. He'll just sit up and abandon off the bat.
Cause it's the only big race this season his brother will participate in?
Are you sure about that? Frank doesn't have a team, after all
It was the plan as long as Fränk would still be with the team. Might have changed now. But if Andy wants to go to the Vuelta, he will casue Guercilena listens to everyhting he says

^Velits is no longer a GC guy imo.
He never was... that podium place in 2010 was something that I bet we will never see again, in some special circumstances. The field was kind of weak and behind him only Purito, Schleck and Tondo were better climbers, imo. Purito I think did better than Velits in the mountains, just lost plenty of time in the time-trial. He is a good climber, but for Grand Tours, top-20 the maximum.

Remember he even beat Cancellara in the time trial
Essentially he had an amazing one time performance just when he needed desperately to find a new contract and justify a good salary.
We've seen that before
