Well if Wiggins is targeting the Giro and Froome looks like he will be the leader for the Tour, then there is a chance he could lead the Vuelta  |

He will not as he's not a GT Rider. Hes good for Top 15 in GC at best. Isso summarized him perfectly earlier on. However he will be given lead similarly to Porte / Rogers this year in smaller stage races. Corsica, possibly Pais Vasco etc.
Vuelta lead will either go to Uran / Henao. Depends which one rides Giro or Tour. Henao is by far my preferred option here.

Shame that he couldn't be a contender really 
But i'm with you on hoping Henao gets a chance |

I was really hoping that a Skyish Colombian could be the leader in the Vuelta next year 
Hope you're right Alakagom, but since you're the absolute expert, (and you got a Sky-present  ) I'm not even doubting it |

JJ Haedo leaves Saxo and joins US Continental team Jamis Sutter Homes, no, seriously he has. |

Confirmed on Twitter by @JoséBeen, I couldn't quite believe it when I saw it.
I don't understand why Saxo kept Miyazawa as a lead out man when they let go of both Haedo's, seems strange to me. |

Wages I imagine. Miyazawa is unlikely to ask for much, whereas the Haedo's (particularly JJ) could ask for a bit more. There is also the possibility of business interests from the respective banks wanting to attract some new Japanesse money.

That's one hell of a surprising transfer. I actually agree with Countarach, probably money is involved. |

Probably the same reason Riis signed Teapot Miyazawa in the first place: trying to attract a japanese sponsor

No!!!! Not Josh. I liked him so much at this year's Tour of Britain, now he signs for Sky.  |

Seems a logical move for him, moving to a team where his value is increased by his nationality and where, among other things, the organisation is top class...

Another young rider for Sky and once again excellent future climber. It was always obvious Josh was going sign to Sky, just never knew exactly when, whether two years later or now. And we now have the answer.

Every rider that joins Sky now is a bad move. This was a great move, imo. |

Apparently Sky have sponsored Edmonson for the last year |
