You can say what you like, at least Armstrong was a king in covering up, Di Luca is just lazy  |

Sorry to be slightly off-topic; but who IS targeting the Vuelta this year?

Here is the very very provisional startlist:
https://www.procyc...-Startlist
From these, the only one I'm sure is targeting the Vuelta would be Frank Schleck and maybe Kruijswijk.
edit: And maybe Anton if he fails (which he will) in the TDF.
edit2: Alakagom: I don't think Henao can be in top form for the Vuelta after he had ridden both the Giro and the Tour, but I'd hope he can do well there, he is quite entertaining to watch if he is in good form.

Vuelta specifically?
Henao is the only one that came to my mind. Nieve/Anton/Sanchez ? One of them will at least.
Rujano, Pozzovivo, Basso might be there too, but doubt he's going to really challenge.
There will be I guess few more names announcing it shortly, but many top names ( Nibali, Valverde ) will be going first of all to use it at good Worlds prep.

Dont know, maybe Valverde, Nibali, Froome(?), Purito (?), Anton ()

The usual suspects like Contador, Valverde, Purito, Moreno and Anton plus Nibali, Quintana, Betancur, Henao, Uran and Maybe Frome are the ones to come to my mind right now. |

Purito will go for stage wins in the Vuelta, not for the overal.
The Colombians (Henao, Betancur) should be strong there aswell.

Contador will focus on the Tour, so will Rodriguez (for sure). Froome will also be going for the Tour 100%. |

Froome, J. Rodrigues, Contador focusing totally on TdF.
Nibali will be surely riding.
So is F.Schleck, and if A.Schleck is not ready for Tour then who knows maybe even he. |

Yeah, I'm sure he'd enjoy partying like last time. I hope you don't seriously think he'll show up in form for a race that isn't the Tour.
Doubt Franky will do much either.

"There mustn't be so many people on water ( = riding clean) at vini fantini! After Di Luca, we're now expecting the (likes of) Santamborgio, Garzelli and other thieves! Shame on them"
Yeah, well, the team management can bitch about Di Luca, but Roux has a point, with riders like that in their team, what did they expect ?

Haha Santambrogio is so obvious riders are even comfortable in calling him out publicly

Now I'm pretty confident Santambrogio is doped too. A shame.
But Di Luca.
