As far as I know, Stetina was nominated as a GC leader for Garmin some time ago, so it looks like they don't expect much from Martin, or they are going to change their mind, or it is just a red herring. :>
Well, I'd certainly expect more from Martin than Stetina. Like really? WHat are they going for a top 50?

Last time you guys were hyping Henao I bought him instead of Uran for my Velogames Fantasy Giro squad. And then Uran wins a stage and gets second place in GC while Henao was no where to be seen. I would've finished in the top 10 if I bought Uran and not Henao.
But seriously, Henao might have more potential, atm Uran is the better climber of the two, while Henao is better in hills.
He was sick during the Giro
I still rate Uran as a better climber at this moment. Even in good health Henao wouldn't have made the podium in the Giro. There's a reason why Uran was the last man before Froome in T-A's Sky-train and not Henao.
Both are capable of getting top 5 this Vuelta imo. |

Stetina could finish in the top 20 as the Vuelta field does fall away pretty quickly, I would agree that Martin is a better bet and see him getting a stage win but he has been up for the spring and Le Tour so him to get a top 10 here would be a big ask.

Considering his great performance in Week 3 of TdF, and the fact that la Vuelta 2013 is perfectly suited for him, I'd go with Purito in the first place.
1 Joaquim Rodriguez
2 Alejandro Valverde
3 Sergio Henao
4 Vincenzo Nibali
5 Rafal Majka
U25: Rafal Majka
KoM: Amets Txurruka
Points: Joaquim Rodriguez
Combinada: Joaquim Rodriguez |

Vuelta does not have a -25 classification, instead there is a combination classification IIRC

Ruben @ I still rate Betancour above Henao and Uran. And sorry to say, Henao and Uran rides for Sky. Betancour captured the cycling world this year by riding for Ag2R. All logical argumentation, would suggest he does not have the facilities, marginal gains program, nor the we-are-using-futureristic-training-programs. Arguments stated by Brailsford himself.
Not saying one is more doped/clean that the other. Just pointing some obvious things out.
For me Betancour is a way more raw talent, with a flamboyant attacking aggressiveness.
Almost every rider on Sky has turned into a superb rider. I predict both Uran and Henao not to reach the same level outside Sky. Similar to all the US.Postal riders who tried their own chances, it never really did go as they hoped for, now did it  ?
Jesleyh @ I agree with the havent unleashed yet. Henao and Uran will be rated equally by me too.
Climb : Quintana>Betancour>Uran and Henao.
Hills > Betancour and Henao. Then Quintana and Uran.
Lets see, everyone has subjective opinions about this. So time will tell, only thing for sure is that the columbian armada will provide us with exciting racing for years
Edit: If Aquarius see's this, do you have any power output and watt numbers from Uran, Henao and Betancour? If any other do, then please share !

I knew about the combination(just forgot to include it in my prediction), but didn't know about the U25, yes, I'm surprised by that.

PCM may mislead you, a bit as Keldermann  |
