That must be his stage win where he was 2nd behind Sayar. The overall should go to Berhane. |

Since the Tour is basically over, who do we have lined up for the Vuelta? |

Betancur is not in that list, but it is 80% sure that he will do it too. Brajkovic, Kessiakoff, Paolo Tiralongo, Valerio Agnoli and maybe Jakob Fuglsang for Astana.

- Nibbles, who is bringing a few people like Brajkovic (if he recovers in time), Agnoli, and perhaps Fuglsang.
- Henao for sky, with Uran for support I think.
- Most likely Valverde and perhaps Contador? Not sure though.
- Kruijswijk? Hasn't done either of the other two GTs
- A few other 'favourites' like Basso and Anton 
Most of that completely unconfirmed, apart from Nibbles and Henao.

old guys having their last shot at GT-leadership: Samu and Basso.
Basso is also aiming at Firenze btw, says Nibali hasn't secured the Italian leadership yet

Nibbles will be preparing the Worlds, and will not aim at the GC.

Acording to Giuseppe Martinelli he will try to win La Vuelta and thats why he has such an strong Team.

I read something along those lines too (in a different, english source)
Forgot Pinot from that list - I originally overlooked him because two of the stages in the pyrenees actually feature some climbs before the finish = descending =/= Pinot doing well but I suppose he'll do OK.

Rafał Majka will also participate, plus it's confirmed that Wiggins won't start. |

Not sure Pinot will go for the G.C. though, as he'll be there in the perspective of the W.C. too. |

I stand corrected. I missed that piece of news somehow, but good to know that he'll give it a shot.

Wiggins is announced to start the ToB
https://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/...ance-again
Wiggins has recovered from the knee injury that put him out of the Giro, and although he initially hoped to race the Tour de France, the condition required a visit to a specialist who advised him to take two weeks off his bike, ruling him out of the Tour. He is now in the second week of a six-week block of training and expects to return to racing at the Tour of Poland on 27 July. That will be followed by an event in Colorado, where he may also take in an altitude training camp, before the Tour of Britain from 15-22 September.
