Don´t you think that Samuel Sanchez will also be on the Euskatel list? |

He has to be there. A Spanish hero in a Spanish team must ride the home tour. But you never know. |

¿Maybe, at least, Andy Schleck is in vuelta only for training to the World Championships?
I believe that if Frank Schleck is in good form it wold be nice see the battle between him and Mosquera in the mountains

He rides for Euskaltel because he was brought up in Basque cycling culture.  |

No, what I mean is that he rides for Euskaltel even though he isn't Basque, because he was brought up in Basque Cycling Culture.  |

Schlecks, Menchov, 'Purito', Nibali, Kreuziger, Sastre Confirmed and Samuel Sánchez maybe.

Moncoutié too, it's the goal of his season, but he'll most likely be going for KOM jersey and stage wins.

Yeah the French side. He considers himself a Basque in truth though but didn't start to learn the language until Euskaltel got to him.
I'm surprised Sastre is riding the Vuelta. 3 GTs when he is clearly out of form may not be the greatest idea ever. |

I think that right now he is just enjoying cycling and don´t really care about results. Maybe is his last year or almost... |

Or perhaps he just didn't try anything during the Tour, because he used it as a prep for the Vuelta, once he realised that he had no chance at following Conta and Schleck.
I wouldn't rule out Sastre at the Vuelta for sure. I didn't believe in him at the beginning of the Tour, but this is another thing imo. He is probably in it for top 5.

My favourite grand tour of the year . I love it!
I have a sneaky feeling about menchov again with his traditional "I've already rode one grand tour and usually do better in the second one" even though he was good at the tour. If not Wacky Rod or Anton. You always get good racing though. |

Well Sastre didn't want to ride the Tour, he wanted to ride the Vuelta but Cervelo forced him.
Because of that i'm not sure he'll do well in the Vuelta.
